Akshay Kumar arranged for my mother’s heart treatment, called doctor every day: Mukesh Chhabra says ‘actor never spoke about it’

“So, I sent Akshay Kumar a message and he immediately called. He arranged everything in that hospital, he called me almost every day, continuously for 15 days. He would ask, ‘How is your mother doing? How are you?’ He also spoke to the doctor continuously. He doesn’t talk about it; I never spoke about it either.

“Despite being so busy, he would ask every morning, ‘Mummy da ki haal hai?‘ I can’t forget that at all. He even met my mother. It is not even that we are regularly in touch, because you take this step to help someone when you know them at a personal level but still, he did that. We started talking after that, but I can’t forget that moment,” the casting director added.

Mukesh Chhabra’s mother passed away in 2023. On the work front, he has done the casting of some of the biggest upcoming films, including Ranbir Kapoor-led Ramayana. The two-part epic is currently being filmed.

Akshay Kumar, meanwhile, recently had his third release of the year, Khel Khel Mein, which is headed to be a flop. The actor has been going through a rough patch with nine films bombing at the box office.
