Akshay Kumar is one of the leading stars of the Hindi film industry of his generation. Fondly called 'Khiladi Kumar', the actor never failed to impress everyone with his blockbuster performances in every film. From his fitness regime to mind-blowing action sequences and ever-so-energetic screen presence, Akshay always woos his audience with his talent in the field. Talking about his personal life, he is happily married to Twinkle Khanna, and the duo is parents to their son, Aarav and their daughter, Nitara.
Akshay Kumar is a powerhouse of talent, but he has failed to gain box-office numbers lately. Though he is steadfast in his work ethic, he has delivered an array of box-office flops, including Bachchan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Cuttputlli, Ram Setu, Selfiee, Mission Raniganj, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and Sarfira. Despite all this, Akshay is the only actor who does multiple projects instead of a single movie every year.

Akshay Kumar, who has always been questioned about his choice of doing multiple films in a year, has recently taken a dig at those who criticise him for doing so. In a candid conversation with Ghazal Alagh, Akshay strongly reacted to the criticism and said that he was lucky that he was getting work, or else he would have to sit at home. He also asked the trolls if they would let him stay at their house if he ever ran out of work and said:
“Mujhe kehte hain ye chaar film kyu karta hai saal mein… isko ek film karni chahiye… chalo main ek picture kar leta hu baaki din kya karunga? Tere ghar mein aaun? Beta, yaad rakhna, lucky are those people who get work. Yahan roz koi na koi bolta hai berozgaari chal rahi hai ye chal raha hai wo chal raha hai… jisko kaam mil raha hai usko toh karne do."
For years, Akshay Kumar has dominated the box office and impressed the critics with his consecutive hits. However, he has been experiencing a rough patch in his professional life, as several of his recent films have underperformed at the box office. In an earlier interview with Forbes India, Akshay expressed his views on his recent series of flops and revealed the lessons he learnt from his failure. In his words:
“Behind every film there is a lot of blood, sweat, and passion that goes in. It is heart-breaking to see any film fail. But you have to learn to see the silver lining. Every failure teaches you the value of success and increases the hunger for it even further. Luckily, I learnt to deal with it earlier on in my career. Of course, it hurts and impacts you, but that won’t change the fate of the film. It’s not something which is in your control… what is in your control is to work harder, make amends, and give it your all to your next film. That’s how I channel my energy and try to move on to the next, focusing my energy where it matters the most.”

Earlier, in an interaction with Curly Tales, Akshay Kumar revisited his childhood and recalled the humble and mundane life he used to live back in the day. The handsome hunk revealed that he used to live in a 2BHK apartment that his parents had rented for Rs. 500. Cut to now, he mentioned his desire to purchase that home once more. He also added that he still visits the place quite a few times to refresh fond memories.
