Akshay Kumar narrates the incident when he was inappropriately touched as a child

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar on Thursday narrated an incident from his own life to highlight the risk children face in day-to-day life, and importance of communication to identify sexual predators.

He was speaking at an international conference on human trafficking on Mumbai.

“Let me share my own experience with you all here. When I was a very young kid, a lift-man once touched me inappropriately.

“Since I had good communication with my parents, I told them about this incident,” he said.

Later, the same person was caught in another case and was found to be a habitual offender, the actor said.

Parents and children must have a free interaction so that such offenders are identified immediately, he said.

Akshay is currently awaiting the release of his film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha with Bhumi Pednekar.
