Shutting down trolls, Akshay said that they have done nothing wrong and it was all being done for a noble cause, not personal benefit. However, in his statement, he called the piece of garment in question a “costume” instead of “uniform” -- the word that irked the naval officer in the first instance. He said, “I support my wife on that matter. I and my wife are doing some work with good intention for a good cause. That was a costume that I used in the film. It is going for (for auction) a good cause. I do not think we have done anything wrong.”

Speaking at an event on Tuesday evening, he continued, “If anyone finds it wrong then it is okay. I cannot do anything on that.”

In his initial tweet on April 26, Akshay tweeted: “Hi all, I’m thrilled to announce that you can bid to win the actual naval officer uniform I wore in Rustom! Auction’s proceeds will support the cause of animal rescue and welfare.
