Addressing the media at New India Conclave here, Akshay said, "Of course I stand by her, whatever we are doing is for a good cause. I am with my wife... Mujhey Kuch fark nahi padta kon kya bolta hai (I don't care about who says what)."
Producer-author and entrepreneur Twinkle Khanna said on April 29 that she believes in taking legal action instead of retaliating with "violent threat" online.
"As a society do we really think it's all right to threaten a woman with bodily harm for trying to raise funds for a charity by auctioning a uniform used in a movie, a piece of film memorabilia," Khanna said on micro-blogging site Twitter while replying to a troll.

The report about the auctioning of the uniform from the movie was first posted by Akshay himself on his social media handle, followed by a post from his wife Twinkle. According to both of them, the auction will go towards the cause of animal welfare.
The movie "Rustom" for which Akshay won a National Award was based on the real life incident of naval officer K.M. Nanavati and businessman Prem Ahuja.
