After
being
moved
by
the
Assam
floods
that
took
the
lives
of
over
90
people
and
100s
of
animals,
actor
Akshay
Kumar
donated
Rs
2
crore
for
the
relief
works.
He
donated
Rs
1
crore
to
the
Chief
Minister
Relief
Fund
and
Rs
1
crore
to
the
famed
Kaziranga
National
Park.
The
Mission
Mangal
actor
was
one
of
the
first
to
donate
such
a
huge
amount.
The
actor
tweeted
that
he
was
'heartbroken'
after
seeing
the
situation.
He
reportedly
said,
"I
honestly
did
not
feel
good
when
I
donated
money.
But
the
Chief
Minister
of
Assam
called
me
and
told,
'aapke
donation
ke
baad,
bahut
saare
aur
bhi
logon
ne
donation
diya'
(After
you
donated,
I
am
seeing
more
people
donate).
Ours
is
an
amazing
nation.
One
just
has
to
start
something
good
and
it
will
create
a
ripple
effect.
We
need
a
little
push."
The
actor
also
added
that
a
photograph
of
a
mother
holding
on
to
her
child
on
her
shoulders
while
wading
through
the
flooded
waters
affected
him
badly.
"There
was
no
expression
of
sadness
or
stress
on
her
face.
And
that's
a
dangerous
sign.
What
all
she
must
have
gone
through
that
she
forgot
all
her
sorrows," said
Akshay.
He
said
that
such
things
cannot
happen
to
his
wife
or
daughter
and
that
was
why
he
did
what
he
did.
On
donating
Rs
1
crore
to
the
zoo,
he
said,
"I
also
saw
some
images
of
animals
like
rhinoceros,
who
were
drowning,
dying
and
screaming.
We
should
all
come
together
during
such
times
-
regardless
of
whether
you
can
donate
Rs
2
or
5
lakhs.
That's
how
a
country
is
made.
And
humanity
is
all
about
that.
I
admit
that
God
has
given
me
a
lot
of
money,
so
I
give
away
without
thinking
twice."
On
the
work
front,
Akshay's
Mission
Mangal
has
crossed
the
Rs
100
crore
mark.
The
film,
which
is
based
on
India's
first
interplanetary
expedition,
Mars
Orbiter
Mission,
released
on
August
15.
