MUMBAI: A few years back Emraan Hashmi was on the news when his son Ayaan was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 4. The actor then recalled how Akshay Kumar insisted on helping with the treatment.
In his book, Emraan Hashmi wrote about receiving a text from the superstar that read, “Hi, this is Akshay Kumar. Please call when you’re free.” Emraan immediately called and the actor asked him, “Hi Emraan, is it true what I read about your son?” the actor replied, “Yes. We have gotten the tumour removed successfully. Couldn’t save the kidney so that was extracted as well.”

Besides, you must be tied up with work.” While Akshay obliged and said, “If you need anything, I am a phone call away, okay? I know some good doctors and facilities. Kuch bhi chahiye bata de.”
