This
is
a
story
that
Akshay
Kumar
really
doesn't
want
to
be
told.
But
in
times
when
cameras
arrive
at
the
place
of
charity
before
the
star's
charitable
act,
the
star's
quiet
act
of
generosity
is
somewhat
touching.
A
few
days
after
the
release
of
Blue,
the
film's
director
Anthony
D'Souza,
who
openly
hero-worships
Akshay
Kumar,
was
traveling
with
the
star
when
suddenly
Akshay
stopped
the
car,
pulled
out
a
wad
of
thick
currency
notes
and
gently
handed
it
over
to
Anthony
who
was
understandably
stunned.
"This
is
for
all
the
spot
boys
in
Blue.
Please
divide
it
among
them
as
a
Diwali
bonus.
Blue
couldn't
have
happened
without
them," Akshay
told
Anthony.
Says
the
director,
"It
was
2.5
lakh
rupees
and
I
quietly
distributed
it
among
the
18
spotboys
of
Blue.
I
kept
quiet
about
it
because
Akshay
asked
me
to.
But
now
when
you
ask
about
it,
I've
to
admit
such
largesse
is
rare
in
our
film
industry."
In
a
way
the
director
is
right.
Who
pulls
out
wads
of
currency
notes
in
this
day
and
age?
Says
Anthony,
''You've
to
look
at
it
from
the
point
of
view
of
the
spot
boys
who
are
the
most
neglected
breed
in
Bollywood.
No
one
looks
their
way,
let
alone
reward
their
hard
work.
You
had
to
see
the
glint
in
their
eyes
when
they
received
Akshay's
gift.
I've
now
become
a
bigger
fan
of
Akshay
Kumar."
Akshay
now
intends
to
hold
a
special
screening
of
Blue
for
all
the
family
and
friends
of
the
spot
boys.
