However, Twitterati was quite irked by the fact that no female celebrity was a part of the meeting. In a time when gender equality wave is picking up momentum, this particular meeting received flak from the people for not involving and female.
Bollywood actress Dia Mirza also took to Twitter and questioned Akshay Kumar for not including any women. Quoting the tweet of Akshay Kumar, she wrote-
