Akshay, Vijender ‘fight’ to cheer up kids

A Diwali celebration at a Mumbai mall brought the on-screen action hero opposite the 'real' boxing hero.

.

Oberoi Mall in Mumbai kicked off its Diwali celebrations on 17th October by hosting a special Diwali celebration day dedicated for 50 children from ‘Make A Wish Foundation’. The Diwali celebration began with the children and their parents arriving in the morning and first being taken to PVR Cinema for a special film screening – ‘Cheenti Cheenti Bang Bang’.

After the screening, they were taken to the Mall’s food court – Spoon – for lunch and then to its recreational space – Fun City – which proved to be very entertaining and exciting for the children.

The celebration then culminated in an exclusive event, which was held in the Mall’s central atrium and began with a Wish Granting Session, where each child was granted a wish of their choice. Akshay Kumar and Olympic medallist Vijender Singh took turns in presenting each child with their respective wish gifts.

This was followed by a play boxing match with the entire children group and the two celebrities. The event concluded with a short boxing bout between Akshay Kumar and Vijendra Singh.
