Bollywood Star Akshay Kumar Raises Awareness on Prostate Health

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar used a recent platform at the India Today Conclave to raise awareness about the importance of prostate health. During a candid conversation, Kumar spoke about the loss of his father to prostate cancer at the age of 67.

Kumar expressed regret that his family was not aware of the need for regular screening for prostate-related conditions. He emphasized the significance of early detection, stating, 'Why? Because I didn't know that after the age of 50–55 you have to get your PSA checked.'

The actor stressed the need for men to take prostate health seriously and make regular testing a part of their routine check-ups. He encouraged men to undergo PSA tests annually, citing the widespread nature of prostate cancer, which affects one in every three men.

Kumar's message was clear: 'Please check it; it's a very important thing to do.' He urged men to prioritize their prostate health and take preventive steps to save their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

The actor's efforts aim to educate men about the importance of prostate health and the role of early detection in improving outcomes for patients.
