Wed Nov 20 15:14:42 UTC 2024: ## Bollywood Star Akshay Kumar Promises to Replace Rusted Public Toilet
**MUMBAI, November 20, 2024** – Actor Akshay Kumar encountered an unexpected critique of his 2018 philanthropic endeavor while casting his vote in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. A senior citizen, while shaking hands with the actor, pointed out the dilapidated state of a mobile toilet Akshay had sponsored near Juhu Beach. The toilet, which cost Rs 10 lakh to install, has reportedly rusted significantly over the past four years.
The senior citizen, who had been personally maintaining the facility, requested either a replacement or repairs. Akshay, initially surprised, acknowledged the issue and promised to contact the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to address the problem. He reaffirmed his commitment to the project, initiated after his wife highlighted open defecation issues at Juhu Beach.
While the actor’s charitable gesture was initially praised, this incident highlights the challenges of long-term maintenance for such public facilities. Akshay’s current projects include “Housefull 5” and “Bhooth Bangla”.
