# Akshay Kumar's Heartwarming Gesture at BMC Polling Booth Goes Viral – A True Hero Off-Screen! Imagine stepping out of a polling booth, only to be stopped by a desperate fan pleading for help with her family's crushing debt. That's exactly what Bollywood superstar **Akshay Kumar** faced during the BMC elections 2026 – and his response has melted hearts across social media.[1][2] Dressed casually in a shirt and baggy pants, Akshay had just cast his vote early on Thursday morning at a Mumbai polling station, one of the first celebrities to show up for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls.[1][3] As he headed to his car, a young girl approached him emotionally, holding documents and explaining, "Papa bahut bade karze mein hai" (My father is in huge debt; please help him get out).[3][4] Overwhelmed with gratitude, she even tried to touch his feet – but Akshay gently stopped her, saying "Beta, aisa mat karo" (Don't do that, child), placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, and introduced her to a member of his security team to handle the matter.[1][2] This isn't just celebrity kindness; it's a glimpse into Akshay's grounded personality that fans adore. Social media exploded with praise – comments like "Real man, sidhi sadhi Akshay," "Bade dilwala" (big-hearted), and "Excellent" flooded in, hailing his humility and compassion amid the chaos of election day.[2][3] The viral video, capturing this raw, human moment, quickly racked up views, proving why Akshay commands respect beyond the silver screen.[1] But Akshay didn't stop at helping one fan. Speaking to reporters post-voting, he delivered a powerful message on civic duty: "This is the day when the remote control is in our hands. Everyone must vote... If Mumbai truly wants to be a hero, it is not about slogans or dialogues, just come and vote."[1][3] Polling for 2,801 seats across Maharashtra's municipal corporations ran from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with vote counting set for January 16 – a reminder that stars like Akshay lead by example in democracy.[1]
