People in the film industry have been trying their best to help the frontline workers by donating in some way or the other. Sometime back, the ace actor donated 500 smartwatches, which help in tracking the symptoms of COVID-19, to Nashik Police on account of protection. He had previously donated 1000 smartwatches to Mumbai Police as the number of positive cases has been shooting up consistently. Nashik Police commissioner Vishwas Nangre Patil recently expressed his gratefulness over the offering by Akshay Kumar.

He said that he is grateful to the actor for donating 500 smartwatches which will be spread out to the frontline workers who are of 45 years and above in age. He also explained how these watches work and help in getting early attention and medication. The watch provides data related to body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure, which will all be collected on the COVID-19 dashboard. He also added that this dashboard is monitored by the police force. The force will also track health and wellness dashboards which will track BMI and footsteps on a regular basis.  

Apart from this, the Bollywood's Khiladi also donated an amount of Rs 45 lakh to help 1,500 members of CINTAA (Cine & TV Artistes Association) who are hit by the coronavirus lockdown in the country.
