interacted with IPS recruits, played a volleyball match and demonstrated his impressive combat skills in a friendly martial arts combat with an IPS officer. The 48-year-old star also released a 56-second-long video of his combat which has gone viral in social media platforms.
As is seen in the video, the actor was greeted with claps by IPS recruits gathered on the ground, as the actor punched and kicked his opponent in a friendly combat. It’s not just the IPS officers who got impressed with this Bollywood Khiladi’s kicks and punches. Even his wife Twinkle Khanna took to the Twitter to praise him. “This is why he's my Bae!

The actor also participated in a volleyball match and interacted with the IPS recruits.

Akshay Kumar was professionally trained in martial arts, a skill-set often used for self-defence, military and law enforcement.
The official site of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy has also carried a number of photos of the actor interacting with the recruits, faculty members and director Aruna M Bahuguna, a 1979 batch IPS.
The photographs showed the actor while giving a speech, playing a volleyball match, walking around the campus and demonstrating his martial arts skills.
It makes my blood boil to see these officers fawn over this canadian actor (yes, dear AK has renounced indian citizenship years ago). No doubt AK was the gainer with a bunch of useful contacts made who can help him out the next time he has some police trouble.

This attitude pretty much is a summary of all that is wrong with our civil service. No dignity, no self-respect.
Shame!
