Akshay Kumar’s Message to Fans
At the premiere, Akshay Kumar urged fans to watch ‘Kesari 2’, emphasizing its importance in understanding a lesser-known chapter in India’s past. He asked viewers to put away their phones during the movie and fully immerse themselves in the experience. “Please keep your phones in your pockets and listen to every dialogue,” he said. “If you check Instagram during the film, it’ll be disrespecting the movie.”
Controversy Surrounding Jallianwala Bagh
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre was a brutal incident where British officer General Dyer ordered his soldiers to fire on unarmed Indians, including women and children. Many people jumped into a well to escape the gunfire, resulting in numerous casualties. General Dyer’s great-granddaughter once described the victims as “looters.” Akshay Kumar responded by saying that one day the British Empire would apologize for its actions.
