Akshay Kumar Highlights Cyber Safety for Children
Speaking at the Cyber Awareness Month 2025 inaugural event in Mumbai, Akshay Kumar explained how easily children can become victims of cybercrime. He said, “A few months ago, my daughter was playing an online game that allows players to chat with strangers. During the game, a person sent her a message asking if she was male or female. When she replied ‘female,’ the person asked her to send nude photos. My daughter immediately stopped the game and informed my wife.”
Akshay appreciated his daughter’s awareness but warned that not all children may react wisely in such situations. He used the story to show the urgent need for cyber education among students.
The actor urged the Maharashtra government to introduce a weekly “Cyber Awareness Period” in schools for classes 7 to 10. He suggested that children should be taught how to recognize and report online dangers, including scams, fake friendships, and identity theft. Akshay emphasized that cybercrime is growing faster than street crime, making it essential for children to learn about online safety early.
Akshay Kumar also attended the event with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Rani Mukerji, and other senior officials. The event focused on promoting responsible internet use and highlighting the government’s efforts to build safer digital spaces.
The actor, known for his discipline and healthy lifestyle, has often supported social causes such as road safety, cleanliness, and women’s empowerment. This time, his focus was on protecting children in the digital age.
