Speaking at a cyber awareness event in Mumbai, Akshay urged authorities to implement stronger educational measures to protect young internet users.
The Shocking Incident
During the event, Akshay Kumar recalled how his daughter was approached by an unknown user while gaming online. Initially, the conversation seemed harmless, with the stranger asking her gender.
