In the video surfacing on the internet, the elderly man is seen greeting Akshay and complaining about how Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials don’t take care of the toilet. He said that he has been taking care of the toilet for the past three to four years, to which Akshay replied, ‘Okay, let’s work on it. I will talk to the BMC.’ He also asked Akshay to get another toilet built in Juhu to which the actor replied that he had already done his part and now it is the BMC’s job to maintain the toilet.

To which the old man replied, ‘It rots every day, we have to spend money on it every day… you have to give the box, I will put it,’ to which Akshay replied, ‘I have already given the box… it has rotted, so the BMC will take care of it.’ Let us tell you that in 2017, Akshay’s wife Twinkle posted a picture of a man openly defecating on Juhu beach, along with the caption, ‘Good morning and I think this toilet is the first scene from Ek Prem Katha Part 2, when your walk down the toilet.’
