Akshay Kumar Donates Handsomely for Haji Ali Dargah Renovation

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has once again hit the headlines this time with his philanthropic attitude toward the renovation work of the iconic Haji Ali Dargah, Mumbai. The actor had visited the dargah not so long ago to pray for success in his upcoming film and handed over a big financial contribution as support for renovation work.

A Meaningful Visit by Akshay
Akshay Kumar was spotted during his visit to the Haji Ali Dargah offering a chadar at the shrine, deep with spiritual purpose associated with this place. Dressed in a casual attire down to his forehead, the actor took a moment to pray for the success of his next venture, “Khel Khel Mein,” which is due to be released on August 15. Pictures of the actor in the dargah quickly went viral on social media, showing his high level of respect and regard for the religious site.

It was a visit involving prayer and charity, and for that, Akshay has been hailed by fans and others on social media. His humility and readiness to provide help to a place of pilgrimage prove his deep roots in the city of Mumbai and loyalty to paying back the community.

Substantial Financial Contribution by Akshay
The popular Bollywood actor has reportedly contributed an approximate sum of ₹1.21 crore (equal to ₹1,21,00,000) to fundraising for the renovation of Haji Ali Dargah in a move that has been widely appreciated. The announcement cooperation was announced by Me. Suhail Khandwani, trustee of Haji Ali Dargah Trust and Mahim Dargah Trust. The Trust posted the donation news on their official Instagram handle today, saying, “Renovation work of Haji Ali Dargah is going on. Bollywood Super Star Padmashri Akshay Kumar, true Mumbaikar and great philanthropist took very magnanimous responsibility and donated a huge amount of donation for renovation.

The timing of this gift cannot be more opportune, as the dargah is presently undergoing intensive renovation for the good of a site with such historical and spiritual importance for devotees and visitors. The financial support of Akshay can go a long way in the overall preservation and rightful use of the dargah.

Being a Great Philanthropist
Akshay Kumar is known for his philanthropic work, and this time he donated not to the dargah but to the Haji Ali Dargah. In one of the instances, the actor had made a set-langar at his house in Mumbai and served food to some poor people. People serving the poor outside of his house went viral online and he was firmly in the limelight as a socially sensitive star.

These acts of good-heartedness and generous kindness merely fit into the much larger picture of philanthropy that Akshay is involved with. In fact, he has consistently used his platform and resources to stand up for a number of causes, starting with disaster relief through health and education to welfare for deprived communities.

Upcoming Akshay Film: “Khel Khel Mein”
Meanwhile, Akshay has been in the limelight not only for his philanthropy but also for his upcoming movie titled “Khel Khel Mein,” which is all set to hit theaters on August 15. It is going to be Akshay’s third movie this year; his earlier two movies, “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” and “Sarfira,” bombed at the box office.

Adding to this, this movie is earmarked for release on a parallel basis with the other two much-awaited movies, “Stree 2” and “Veda,” showing the competitive environment within theaters at the same point in time. Nevertheless, Akshay remains optimistic about the prospects of his film, which is supposed to showcase his versatility and potential as an actor.

Conclusion

His contribution to the renovation of Haji Ali Dargah runs into millions, but this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of charitable works with which Akshay Kumar has involved himself. At the same time, Akshay manages, in his own characteristic way, to balance acting and humanitarianism well and remains an evergreen Bollywood star.

Expectations are really high for “Khel Khel Mein,” considering the mixed results of his previous ventures. With the trailer, fans are pumped to see the final product, and this shows how much he is excited for the movie as well, because rarely have we come across such an effort in his last couple of movies. Akshay’s commitment to his work implies motivation to a lot of human beings, more so in community service and affirming celebrity status to change the world in multiple ways.
