Actor Akshay Kumar, a vocal advocate and supporter of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, was on his way to the ongoing 18th World Toilet Summit at Taj Lands End, Bandra, on Monday, when he saw a man spit while waiting at a traffic signal in Santacruz. When Kumar pulled him up for the act, the man, instead, expressed excitement at seeing the actor. "I asked him why he did it [spit]. He promised never to repeat it and asked for a selfie. Spitting is a disgusting habit," the actor said.

Even as Kumar turned down the man's request for a selfie as punishment, it made him realise that it is the mindset of people that needs to change. The actor was chief guest at a session organised by Jagran Pehel, the CSR arm of Jagran Prakashan Ltd, and RB (formerly Reckitt Beckinser).
