The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has made it compulsory for all schools affiliated with it to give 45 minutes of self-defence training every day to all the girl students. This move has left Akshay Kumar overjoyed. The actor runs his own academy in Mumbai that trains girls in martial arts.
Here’s what he shared after learning about this development:
