In a country where celebrities are Godlier than Gods themselves, how often do you see a Bollywood star stepping down from the pedestal and promoting cleanliness in the rural parts of the country? But that’s exactly what sets Akshay Kumar apart from the rest of them.

Akshay Kumar recently visited Reghwan village, in the Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh where he, along with the Union Minister of Drinking Water and Sanitation Shri Narendra Singh Tomar dug out a filled toilet pit to let his fans know that there’s no shame in maintaining toilets.

He even held the compost in his hands and encouraged people to take sanitation seriously. He also talked about how safe sanitation techniques and the need for initiative, especially in the rural parts of the country.

In most probability, this may be a publicity stunt for his upcoming film ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ but if it’s helping the country get cleaner, why the hell not!
