Akshay Kumar is famous for more than just his fitness, discipline and acting skills. The 51-year-old is also known as the one with a kind heart.

Acid attack survivor and activist Laxmi Agarwal recently opened up about her poor financial condition and unemployment. She spoke about how she is struggling to make ends meet with a very low income as an activist. Agarwal revealed that she has not been getting jobs in call centres and beauty parlours for a year which makes her struggle even worse.

In response to this, the action hero decided to offer help.

According to reports, the 'PadMan' actor directly transferred Rs 5 lakh to Laxmi's account. He said that this was just a tiny gesture and the primary idea was to help Laxmi find jobs without having to worry about paying rent and supporting her child as well. He also said that when a person is in need of livelihood, medals and awards do not pay bills. Offering practical support is also essential.

The 30-year-old acid attack survivor is now flooded with job offers and overwhelmed by the actor's generosity. She thanked him and all others who offered help in some form or the other.
