As
a
part
of
the
Network18
initiative
Mission
Paani
Waterthon,
actor
Akshay
Kumar
walked
21
kilometers
on
a
treadmill
to
understand
the
pain
of
women
who
walk
miles
to
get
safe
drinking
water.
So,
when
the
Twitter
page
of
Mission
Paani
uploaded
the
picture
of
the
Mission
Mangal
actor,
netizens
were
quick
to
react
and
they
were
anything
but
impressed.
Roasting
Kumar
for
his
stunt,
many
netizens
said
that
one
can't
feel
or
understand
the
plight
of
women
who
walk
under
scorching
heat
on
uneven
roads
while
walking
on
a
treadmill
in
an
air-conditioned
room.
A
netizen
wrote,
"Put
aside
the
treadmill,
come
out
of
the
ac
room.
Walk
for
hours
barefoot
on
uneven
roads
&
desert
areas
with
more
than
one
water
container,
only
then
u
will
understand
@akshaykumar."
Another
netizen
wrote,
"@akshaykumar
ji
why
this
drama?
You
can't
imagine
pain
of
those
women
who
walk
so
many
kilometers
in
distress
just
to
get
some
bucket
of
water,
merely
by
walking
on
treadmill.🙄
Go
to
such
places
personally,
help
those
women/families
to
get
a
solution
on
ground
with
help
of
govt."
Akshay

walked

everyday
to

"AC

@akshaykumar
is
trying
to
empathise
with
barefooted
women
who
walk
on
broken
rural
terrain
with
pots
of
water
on
their
head
in
40
degrees
Celsius," wrote
another
netizen
while
slamming
Kumar.
"I
can
do
that
too
on
a
treadmill.
Just
to
understand
what
@akshaykumar
went
through
doing
that.
It's
a
sham
to
say
that
he
did
it
to
understand
what
these
women
go
through
fetching
water.
It's
a
bloody
joke
on
them
by
Akshay
KUMAR,"
wrote
another
Twitter
user,
disappointed
with
Akshay's
treadmill
stunt.
Akshay
might
have
a
noble
intention
to
raise
awareness
about
the
water
scarcity
in
many
parts
of
India,
but
his
action
didn't
work
in
his
favour
and
left
the
actor
in
a
predicament.
