  • Helping A Cause Makes Me Happy: Akshay Kumar
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who is increasingly supporting social causes and cinema with a purpose, says helping a cause and spreading awareness among people makes him happy.

"Seeing a child suffer an ailment and have little or no power to help them makes parents feel hurt. I am glad that this initiative will help 200 children and their families live a happy life. Helping a cause and reaching out to people for the same is what makes me happy," Akshay said.
 
 
The actor has himself been a long-term advocate in spreading a word on the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
