Coming here is always a humbling experience... meeting the real heroes My heart is filled with nothing but respect."

While in one of the pictures, Akshay can be seen striking a pose with the BSF personnel in front of a chopper, in another one he is seen shaking a leg with them. The actor not only clicked pictures with the jawans but also danced with them. He also paid respect to the jawans who sacrificed their lives for the country by laying a wreath on the war memorial. The official Instagram handle of BSF shared pictures from the ceremony.

In the caption, they wrote, "DG BSF Sh Rakesh Asthana paid floral tributes in a solemn wreath laying ceremony to Seema Praharis who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. Actor Akshay Kumar also accompanied DG BSF & paid homage to the fallen braves."
