Akshay Kumar has already done quite a bit to help the needy during the coronavirus pandemic, and now, he has come forward to help one from his own industry, TV actress Nupur Alankar, whose fallen on severely hard times due to all film and television shoots being halted for almost three months during lockdown. Veteran film and telly actress Renuka Shahane had earlier come forth to urge people for Nupur's financial aid, and now that Akshay Kumar has responded to her plea, the Hum Aapke Hain Koun actress has lavished praise on him.
Taking to her Twitter handle, Renuka Shahane wrote a lengthy post thanking Akshay Kumar profusely: "What can I say about the kindness of all who've helped my friend Nupur through this horrible time brought about by #PMCBankCrisis combined with her mother's ill health & lockdown in our industry. Today I want to appreciate all of you & appeal to not contribute any further. An angel from our film industry has helped Nupur with a staggering help that will help Nupur's mother get the the best possible treatment. This angel has already helped so many actors, workers from the film industry without any expectation of even a thank you in return. He read about my fb post asking for help on Twitter. He called Ranaji for details about what I had shared. He asked how much Nupur needed. I told him the amount she had asked for and he told me that it will be done. And it was & topped up with more."

Continuing to effuse gratitude on the superstar, Renuka wrote: "I thanked him for his generosity and he said only one sentence in Marathi, " मला धन्यवाद नको, तिची आई बरी व्हायला पाहिजे, बस" ("Please don't thank me, her mother should get well, that's it"). At a time when there is this raging debate about people not being their for each other, this angel has proved that there are gems like him who will stand by someone in need, someone who they have never met or worked with. My gratitude to this immensely generous, compassionate angel is boundless & forever. This angel is none other than superstar @akshaykumar A man with a heart of pure, unadulterated gold. Thank you is too small an expression to express my gratitude @akshaykumar ji. I am so moved by your kindness. I hope you and your family are blessed with every happiness & success possible always. Truly indebted".
