INDIA: In his glorious 55 years, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has accomplished much, making every second of his life worthwhile.
The Cuttputli actor is a prime example of a self-made individual; from the start of his career in the 1987 film Aaj to the completion of a century in the acting business, he has come a long way.
Akshay Kumar received an honorary in 2008 for his contributions to Indian cinema. He received the prestigious Padma Shri honour from the Indian government in the same year.
The actor and film producer is a multifaceted workaholic who maintains a structured daily routine. He is a role model for all generations, a firm proponent of the maxim ‘Early to bed and early to rise’ and is renowned for finishing movies in a short amount of time.
In an interview, he said, “These days, there is a culture amongst our youth of using protein shakes and supplements to shape their bodies. I am against that and don’t understand why they take it. They are becoming a product of a product. People have forgotten to have ghee, milk, Dahi, and have stopped eating home-cooked food.”
He is referred to as Bollywood’s ‘hit machine’ because of his consistently successful box office performances.
Famous films like Airlift, Khiladi, Bell Bottom Padman, Rakshabandhan, and Toilet helped change people’s perceptions of the world.
On the special occasion of Akshay Kumar’s birthday, he wrote on his Instagram, “Saal Quarta hai Waqt Nahi..…what remains constant is the gratitude I feel on every birthday. Thank you always for all your love.”
In contrast, wife Twinkle wrote on her Insta page wishing his husband, “The Birthday Boy who wins at every game! Yes, he beat me at Backgammon. Then he annihilated an Oxford chap and a tag team of four players, all against him, in a game of, wait for this, Scrabble! The best part was a friend got him a halwa cake just like the one his mother used to make for him every year on his birthday. Happy Birthday my Scrabble Master.”
The name Akshay Kumar was originally Rajiv Bhatia, but it was changed when he started working in the entertainment business. He had previously travelled to Bangkok and worked as a regular chef in restaurants. Akshay Kumar is a proficient martial artist and trainer. He is developing a lot of blockbuster movies for his career.
