Knowing that Akshay Kumar had connections with the doctor, Chhabra reached out to the actor.“So, I sent Akshay Kumar a message and he immediately called. He arranged everything in that hospital, he called me almost every day, continuously for 15 days. He would ask, ‘How is your mother doing? How are you?’ He also spoke to the doctor continuously. He doesn’t talk about it; I never spoke about it either,” Mukesh recalled.He further added, “Despite being so busy, he would ask every morning, ‘Mummy da ki haal hai?‘ I can’t forget that at all. He even met my mother. It is not even that we are regularly in touch, because you take this step to help someone when you know them at a personal level but still, he did that. We started talking after that, but I can’t forget that moment.”Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Chhabra's mother, unfortunately, passed away in 2023.Coming back to Akshay, the actor recently made headlines for his impressive cameo in Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2.
