Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has not only entertained us through his extraordinary acting over the years but has also spread awareness about many social issues through his films such as Padman, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and many more.  

The OG 'Khiladi' of B-town has not only excelled in his acting skills but is also a master in kickboxing and karate. Besides, he is an active crusader of teaching self defence to women. 

Akshay is a black belt in Karate and owns a womenâs self defence centre (WSDC) in Mumbai through which he aims to empower women. 

He recently attended the graduation ceremony of WSDC and took to his Twitter account to share the video of the same.

In the video, Akshay is seen kneeling down to match up to the little girl's height to ask her question on stage. He asks, âWhy are you learning self defence?â To which the six-year-old replies, âBecause I like to play football. I wanted to get a side but I could not. Then my mother told me that if you learn self defense, you will be able to get the ball. I donât fight with them (players) but tell them you donât fight with me.â 

The video has already garnered over 88,000 views on social media and more than 16,000 likes.
