Akshay is known to associate himself with martial arts, recreational or fitness-enhancing.

Alia, who's currently working on 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania,' and has Gauri Shinde's 'Dear Zindagi up for release, was mighty pleased to be able to champion the cause of woman safety.

Akshay and Alia, who make for a quirky duo, seemed extremely comfortable in each other's company. A film together on the cards?

Akshay, who's on a career high with three 100 crore films in 2016, and extremely promising projects on the cards, seemed at home with all the display of martial arts being thrown his way.

He was particularly pleased with a demonstration of self-defense by two in-house students.

Alia and Akshay happily cheered on once the two girls were done with their demo session, then heading on to pose for photographs and conclude the ceremony.
