News Topical, Digital Desk : At a public event in Mumbai on Friday, actor Akshay Kumar urged the Chief Minister of Maharashtra to institute a weekly cybercrime period for students in grades 7 through 10. The actor cited an incident involving his daughter to highlight the growing threat of cybercrime. He said that cybercrime has become increasingly rampant, and that awareness of it must be raised in school to combat it.
Akshay revealed this
During the inaugural ceremony of Cyber Awareness Month 2025 at the state police headquarters, Akshay Kumar shared a shocking incident involving his daughter to highlight this danger. Akshay said, “I want to tell you all a small incident that happened at my house a few months ago. My daughter was playing video games, and some video games are such that you can play with anyone. When you're playing, sometimes a message comes in. She got a message asking, 'Are you a man or a woman?' She replied to the woman, and then the person asked, 'Can you send me your nude pictures?' My daughter immediately closed the game and went and told my wife. This is how things start. This is also a part of cyber crime. This incident became a lesson for us.”
Kumar made this appeal to the Chief Minister
Kumar stressed the urgent need to educate children about online criminals and how to protect themselves from threats. His call for a cybercrime period in schools is aimed at teaching the new generation the essentials for staying safe in the digital world. "I would request the Chief Minister to institute a cybercrime period every week in the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades in our state of Maharashtra to raise awareness about cybercrime," he said.
Akshay is currently seen in "Jolly LLB 3," which stars Arshad Warsi, Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, Saurabh Shukla, Gajendra Rao, Ram Kapoor, and others. He is also shooting for director Priyadarshan's action-thriller "Haiwaan," which stars Saif Ali Khan and Saiyami Kher.
