“Since I had good communication with my parents, I told them about this incident,” he said.

Later, the same person was caught in another case and was found to be a habitual offender, the actor said.

Parents and children must have a free interaction so that such offenders are identified immediately, he said.

Akshay is currently awaiting the release of his film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha with Bhumi Pednekar.
