Akshay Kumar is currently in the spotlight for his film Khel Khel Mein and his cameo in Stree 2. While Khel Khel Mein struggles at the box office, Stree 2 is raking in the profits. Amidst the buzz around his films, Akshay is also making headlines for his personal life, particularly for a heartwarming story shared by casting director Mukesh Chhabra.
Akshay’s Support During a Difficult Time
In a recent interview with Ranveer Allahabadia, Mukesh Chhabra opened up about Akshay Kumar’s unwavering support during one of the toughest periods of his life. Mukesh revealed that Akshay helped him immensely during his mother’s medical treatment, a gesture that moved him deeply.
Despite not being close friends, Akshay stepped in when Mukesh needed help the most. Mukesh’s mother, Kamal Chhabra, was suffering from a heart condition two years ago. The situation became overwhelming as Mukesh struggled with the frequent doctor visits. It was filmmaker Anand L. Rai who informed Mukesh that the specialist his mother needed was closely associated with Akshay Kumar.
Akshay’s Immediate Response
Upon learning this, Mukesh messaged Akshay without hesitation. To his surprise, Akshay called back within minutes and took charge of the situation. Mukesh shared that Akshay not only arranged for his mother’s treatment but also called him every day to check on their well-being.
Akshay’s concern extended beyond just phone calls. He would ask Mukesh about his mother’s condition and even spoke to the doctors to stay updated on her health. Mukesh mentioned that Akshay never discussed this with anyone, nor did he ever bring it up in conversations.
A Gesture Never to Be Forgotten
For 15 days, Akshay consistently inquired about Mukesh’s mother’s health, a gesture that Mukesh says he will never forget. Despite his busy schedule, Akshay made time to meet Mukesh’s mother, often calling in the morning to ask, “How are you, Mummy Da?” This level of care and kindness left a lasting impact on Mukesh.
Mukesh highlighted that it’s common for people to go out of their way for someone they are close to, but Akshay’s actions were particularly remarkable given that they were not close friends. Sadly, Mukesh’s mother passed away in 2023, but the memories of Akshay’s support during that difficult time remain etched in his heart.
