The man makes me proud: Twinkle Khanna declares after Akshay donates Rs. 25 cr to 'PM Cares Fund'
Mumbai/IBNS: Hours after Akshay Kumar pledged to donate Rs. 25 crore towards PM-CARES fund, Twinkle Khanna shared how proud a wife she is with the Bollywood actor's kind gesture.
She also revealed how she was unsure if he wanted to donate such a large sum of money since they need to liquidate funds to which the actor replied that he won't hold back when he is in position to donate.
In a tweet, Twinkle posted: "The man makes me proud. When I asked him if he was sure as it was such a massive amount and we needed to liquidate funds, he just said, ‘ I had nothing when I started and now that I am in this position, how can I hold back from doing whatever I can for those who have nothing.’"
