Speaking to ANI, Akshay Kumar said, "I enjoyed here. There is a good arrangement, I thank CM Yogi Adityanath for [the] wonderful arrangement. I remember in 2019 during the last Kumbh, people used to struggle. This time, many big people are coming—Ambani came, Adani came, many big actors came. There is a great arrangement. I want to thank the policemen (and) workers with folded hands."
