Inspired by actor Nana Patekar, now Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has reached out to Maharashtra's drought-hit farmers who have committed suicide. As the state faces one of its worst droughts especially in the Marathwada region, Mr Kumar has earmarked a sum of Rs. 90 lakh to financially help 180 families of those farmers who killed themselves because of the acute agrarian crisis. On Tuesday in Beed district in Marathwada, the actor distributed Rs. 50,000 to each of the 30 widows who had lost their husbands.
