Recently, actor Akshay Kumar shared a video on social media where he urged his fans to make donations for the Ram Mandir construction in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya district.
बहुत खुशी की बात है कि अयोध्या में हमारे श्री राम के भव्य मंदिर का निर्माण शुरू हो चूका है…अब योगदान की बारी हमारी है l मैंने शुरुआत कर दी है, उम्मीद है आप भी साथ जुड़ेंगे l जय सियाराम 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/5SvzgfBVCf

This clip is from an old interview he had done during the promotions of his film OMG-Oh My God! that released in 2012.
While speaking about the amount of wastage that is done in temples he says we all need to develop a practical mindset.
This is what netizens have to say about this clip.
