New Delhi: It is Diwali today and while each one of us is submerged in celebrations, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has something special to say.

The 50-year-old actor wished everyone a very Happy Diwali and said something which must be kept in mind for all the upcoming festivals. 

Akshay took to Twitter and said that this Diwali, all of us must light at least one diya in honour of the Jawans. After all, 'Voh Hai toh Hum Hai'.

We couldn't agree more with the Bollywood superstar as the Jawans are on duty, away from their families so that we can have a safe and Happy Diwali. 

Akshay has added his inputs to a Tweet by Home Minister Rajnath Singh in which the latter has praised the Army for keeping us safe and has urged everyone to light a diya for the Jawans.

He was also the man behind the Bharat Ke Veer initiative launched by Rajnath Singh.

Here's Akshay's Twitter post:

On the work front, Akshay's most recent, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha garnered a lot of attention and was well received by audience and critics. The movie was based on a real life incident in which a man's wife leaves him after coming to know that there's no toilet in his house. 

Akshay will now be seen in Rajinikanth starrer 2.0 which releases in January 2018. He will be playing a negative role in the film and the excitement for the film is already high.
