Akshay Kumar has always been the most genuine of all movie stars. He speaks the right things and he does the right ones too.

Only a few days back, he offered selfless monetary help to the families of all the Martyrs who lost their lives in the Uri Attacks. And while the whole of the media was busy talking about the ban, he broke his silence and requested people to ask the right questions.

And he wins us all over once again.

A gentleman named Sanyog Shrivastava tweeted to Akshay Kumar that his first producer and good friend Mr. Ravi Shrivastava needs a kidney transplant. 

Once a known name, Mr. Ravi Shrivastava is now forgotten.

 

Akshay Kumar’s first movie on the paper is Saugandh, but technically it was Dwarpaal. For some reason, Dwarpaal has always been on the shelf and never came out. He managed to get both of these movies while he was struggling with the help of Mr. Ravi Shrivastava.

The sad part is that Mr. Ravi who has been associated with more than 250 films now lives a life of poverty and could not afford a kidney transplant. But Akshay Kumar noticed the tweet and helped his old friend in no time. 

Mr. Ravi has been associated as a producer for a whopping 250 Bollywood movies. Apart from that, he has also designed posters for movies like Biwi Ho To Aisi, Teri Meherbaniyan, Hukumat, Tehelka. But now, he is forgotten.

A kidney transplant costs around 15-17 Lakhs and Akshay Kumar took care of it. More respect for the man.
