Akshay Kumar Listens To Fan Seeking Financial Help After Voting: ‘Papa Bahut Bade Karze Mein Hai’

What happened outside the polling booth In the viral clip, the woman approaches Akshay and explains her situation. Holding a piece of paper, she tells him, “Papa bahut bade karze mein hai, unko please bahar nikalo (My father is in a huge debt, please help him).” Akshay stops, listens to her, and then asks his team to take her contact details. When the woman attempts to touch his feet, he gently stops her before getting into his car. The entire exchange lasts only a few moments, but it was enough to strike a chord online.
