He began by saying that the previous night, he told his daughter Nitara, the story of a squirrel who wished to make her small contribution in the construction of the Ram Setu so that Lord Ram could reach Lanka. Akshay said that her story must inspire everyone to contribute towards the cause in whatever way possible.


"Today, it is our turn. In Ayodhya, a large temple is being made for Lord Shri Ram. Some of us should be the vaanars, some of us should be the gilheris, and make contributions that suit our capacity to this historical cause. I will be the one to begin. I am sure you will join me too so that the generations that will come after us will be inspired to follow life lessons that the righteous Lord Ram taught us," he said in the video.

Sharing the video on Twitter he wrote, "It is heartening to know that the construction of our Sri Ram's magnificent temple in Ayodhya has begun... Now it is our turn to make contributions. I have started, hopefully you will also join with. Jai Shri Ram."
