Actor Akshay Kumar, who raised the problem of poor sanitation in India through the film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, has urged people to participate in Swachhata Hi Seva Andolan movement. On Wednesday, the 51-year-old tweeted: "Thanks to 'Toilet-Ek Prem Katha', I got to know about the lack of basic sanitation facilities suffered by millions. Swachhata (cleanliness) should be prioritised for our nation's healthy future. Join the Swachhata Hi Seva Andolan."
