Sidharth Shukla is currently shooting for a music video in Punjab with 'Bigg Boss 13' co-contestant Shehnaaz Gill

'Bigg Boss 13' winner Sidharth Shukla, who has been making headlines for his music video with Shehnaaz Gill, extended his support to Akshay Kumar's Laxmii initiative. The person following the initiative is expected to share a photo with red bindi on them, to show their support to the transgender community. Sidharth did the exact same thing.

Sharing a monochrome image with just a red bindi, Sidharth showed his support to the 'Laxmii' initiative taken by Akshay Kumar. He asked people to 'show love, acceptance and support towards the third gender'.

Posting the image, Shukla wrote, “Really admire the initiative that Akki sir has started. We got to take a step beyond and show love, acceptance and support towards the third gender. Let’s wear the Laal Bindi and come together kyunki #AbHamariBaariHai unka saath dene ki jinhone aaj tak hamari khushi mein saath diya (it is our turn to give love to those who have been part of our happiness).”

Previously, Akshay Kumar and 'Laxmii' prodcuer Tusshar Kapoor shared images of them with the red bindi. It is the latest filter on the photo sharing portal Instagram.

While posting the image, Akshay wrote, “Maine toh laga li hai pyaar aur samanta ki Laal Bindi (I have put on a vermillion dot to show respect and equality). Now it’s your turn to join me using ‘Ab Hamari Baari Hai’ filter on Instagram as a symbol of love and acceptance for the third gender!”

Meanwhile, Tusshar shared, “Yeh Laal Bindi sirf ek shringar nahi, par samman ki pehchaan hai (red dot is not just a piece of cosmetic, it is also about respect)! Maine toh apna liya, ab aap bhi apnaiye kyunki #AbHamariBaariHai Become a part by using ‘Ab Hamari Baari Hai’ filter on Instagram as a symbol of love and acceptance for the third gender!”

'Laxmii', featuring Kiara Advani as the female lead, underwent a name change. The Raghav Lawrence directorial film was originally called 'Laxmmi Bomb'. It is a remake of the Tamil hit 'Kanchana 2'. The movie is slated for release on November 9, on Disney+Hotstar.
