Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has shared a disturbing real-life incident involving his 13-year-old daughter, highlighting the growing menace of cybercrime targeting children. Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of Cyber Awareness Month 2025 at the State Police Headquarters in Mumbai, the actor recalled how a harmless gaming session turned into a shocking encounter.

A Harrowing Experience

Recounting the moment, Akshay said, “A few months ago, my daughter was playing an online video game that allows interaction with strangers. During the game, she received a message asking, ‘Are you male or female?’ When she replied ‘female,’ the person sent another message asking her to share nude pictures.”

Shaken, the child immediately shut down the game and informed her mother. “This is how such crimes begin. It’s a serious issue. Cybercrime today is growing faster than street crime,” Akshay warned, urging parents to be more vigilant about their children’s digital activities.
