Akshay Kumar's 'Mission Paani Waterthon' went wrong: Here's how netizens backlashed the actor

Akshay Kumar and a leading media house collaborated together to take up an initiative, 'Mission Paani Waterthon' which went wrong even if the actor's intention was good.

Every now and then Bollywood actors come up with something or the other to hurt the ordinary people's sentiments, maybe not intentionally but it happens. FAU-G founder Akshay Kumar came up with an initiative Mission Paani Waterthon where he walked over 21 km on a treadmill to understand the village women's plight in walking to fetch water.
