Akshay Kumar is one of the most bankable stars in Bollywood. The actor has had a great career graph and was recently named in Forbes’ latest list of world’s highest-paid celebs, beating names such as Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Every year the actor churns out 3-4 films that all manage to hit bull’s eye at the box office. Recently, during an interview, the actor opened up about the criticisms he faced about his acting in his initial days.
During an interview with a leading daily, Akshay was asked that he had said in an earlier interview that in his younger days critics likened his acting skills to furniture but thankfully that has changed now, so how does that make him feel. To this Akshay said, “Not furniture, when I watch my old films, I feel I was a full showroom. So, critics were very lenient towards me. As for feeling contentment, that feeling isn’t there yet. I believe that the day you feel content, your hunger will die and that will be the end of you. Hunger is very important and it shouldn’t die at any cost.”
Akshay has reinvented himself over the years and broken the stereotype of an action hero that was the tag he got bestowed in his youth. He has successfully shifted to comedy, negative roles and subsequently to nationalistic and patriotic roles. He even clinched a National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Rustom.
