Happy Birthday Akshay Kumar: 5 reasons why the actor is truly Gold
The Singh Is Kinng, he is the Khiladi of stunts, Raju of Hera Pheri, Rustom doing Namaste London and Airlift and who has a Prem Katha in ‘Toilet’. He is the ‘Mohra’ who gets ‘Tip Tip Barsa Paani’, the Vishwas of ‘Aankhen’, the Aditya from ‘Waqt’, ‘Baby’ Ajay from ‘Special 26’, the ‘Gabbar’ who is back to fight corruption. All in all, he is ‘Gold’ of the Bollywood industry, and we’re talking about none other than Akshay Kumar!
As the superstar turns 51 today, here are reasons why Akshay Kumar is nothing but ‘Gold’ for people who have him in life:
1. Knows his fans’ demands and lives up to it (by doing all kind of genres)
Akshay Kumar can do a Housefull and then work in ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ and even play a villain opposite Rajinikanth in ‘2.0’. In short, he knows the right balance between giving his fans what they want and then blowing their minds off and then again make them sit down and take notice.
2. Does his bit to promote social awareness
Akshay Kumar is one superstar who understands that he is loved and respected by many and making the most use of it, he raises social awareness about issues which India needs to focus on, through the medium which reaches the most people. And the best part is, Akshay does not preach all the time – he manages to put across the message in an entertaining manner which very few manage to do.
3. Values time and money
An actor of his stature, who comes out with 4 movies a year, apart from his other commitments, could turn up late as he would be busy with something else, but he respects his movie team and media both to turn up on time, understanding that time is money for everyone, and thus managing his routine accordingly. Akshay also charges the fees which the movie can afford. In most cases, he ends up producing his own movies, thus making profit or loss by self.
4. Never works for awards or cribs when he doesn’t receive one
Years after doing good work and being a good, disciplined and honest actor, Akshay Kumar received National Award for ‘Rustom’ in 2016, almost 25 years after working in the industry. But he was never affected by it and continued doing his work without cribbing a single day.
5. Is the ideal man who makes time for fitness, family (including pets), friends and movies
We already spoke about discipline, but did we tell you about how Akki also manages his time well? Yeah that’s right. He makes time to work out every morning, spends time with his kids and pets, is his wife’s biggest support, makes time out for friends and yet focuses on movies. Indeed the ideal man you would want in your life, nah?
