Akshay Kumar’s love for the soldiers is very well-known. The actor has used every opportunity to make it clear that the armed forces deserves highest amount of respect. Thanks to his video and a sweet gesture, then Indian government acted upon his advice and started a portal ‘Bharat Ke Veer’, which attempts to donate money to the family of the deceased soldiers.

RESPECT! Akshay Kumar interacts with Indo-Tibetan Border Police officers

With three days left for the release of Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, Akshay Kumar has been touring the country, trying to promote the film as much as possible. And it was a pleasant surprise to see that the superstar reached the headquarters of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at Greater Noida near Delhi. The actor posted a collage of three pictures that shows Akshay Kumar checking out army equipment and happily interacting with the soldiers and entertaining them. “‪Lovely visiting the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force this morning. Nothing but deepest respect for their never-dying spirit!” was the caption posted by Akshay Kumar with the picture.

ITBP Director General (DG) R K Pachnanda and other senior officials even told Akshay Kumar about the functioning of the force in high-altitude areas and other risk-prone areas. Incidentally, actor Varun Dhawan visited the same ITBP headquarters recently before starting his next film, October, directed by Shoojit Sircar in Delhi.

Toilet – Ek Prem Katha is directed by Shree Narayan Singh and is all set to release on Friday August 11. Along with Akshay Kumar, it also stars Bhumi Pednekar.
