Here, every day someone says there is unemployment, this is happening, that is happening... if someone is getting work, let them do it)."
Fans slammed Akshay for criticizing his fans for calling
A user said, "He needs to understand quality over quantity but importantly if you have that much spare capacity, go do charity work, teach fitness at local community groups. That comment of "tere ghar mein aaun" says how narrow vision he has (very tapori type). Bus paisa paisa paisa hi sab kuch."
