Akshay Kumar, who was last seen in a cameo role in Stree 2, is one of the most talented and prolific actors in Hindi cinema. Also known as Khiladi Kumar, Akshay was born in Chandni Chowk- Delhi- 6 and moved to Bombay to follow his dream to become an actor. The superstar was enthusiastic about sports in his school days and didn’t take an interest in his studies. While he didn’t prefer to study, the Khel Khel Mein star once did a girl’s homework in school. On a show, Akshay admitted to having done it to get a peck on his cheeks. Don’t miss his wife, Twinkle Khanna’s reaction.

During an episode on Koffee With Karan Season 5 in 2020, Karan Johar quizzed Akshay Kumar to share the craziest thing he has ever done in his life. Akshay recalled that while he wasn’t good at studies, the actor completed a girl’s schoolwork during his childhood days.

Akshay recalled, “I used to never do my homework. But the craziest thing is that I did her homework. Just so that she could smile at me and give me a peck on my cheeks.” The 57-year-old actor informed that this incident happened in school while moving his face towards Twinkle on the couch.

Twinkle Khanna‘s reaction to Akshay’s gesture left all of them in splits. The actress-turned-author shared that she figured it out and quipped that he won’t be doing homework at this age.

In an old interview with Sansad TV, Akshay Kumar recalled his initial days while revealing how he was inspired by his neighbor to learn martial arts. Akshay then shared that when he discussed his interest with his late father, the latter collected money to send the actor to Bangkok where he learnt karate for five years.

The superstar also practised martial arts and Thai boxing. He then moved to Calcutta and Dhaka in search of a job and returned to Delhi for Kundan jewellery work. Akshay then came to Mumbai where he started teaching martial arts to young kids and would earn 5,000-6,000 per month.

On the work front, Akshay Kumar is now gearing up for a series of films in the future. It includes Sky Force, Singham Again, Jolly LLB 3, Welcome To The Jungle, Hera Pheri 3, and Bhooth Bangla.

Randeep Hooda, who made his Bollywood debut with Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding in 2001, is among the talented actors in the Hindi cinema. Randeep is best known for his work in movies like Highway and Sarbjit and many more. The actor was last seen in his directorial, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar earlier this year. Randeep Hooda recently claimed that Hrithik Roshan and Shahid Kapoor cannot do what he does and spoke about not being good at dancing.

During the India Today Mind Rocks 2024 Youth Summit on Saturday, Randeep Hooda stressed why he prefers method acting over dance. Randeep shared that he likes to do transformational acting “where you are preparing yourself to know the truth of a character”.

Citing an example of performing cop roles in movies, the actor shared that he hasn’t played a “cardboard cop” who wears a uniform. Randeep also discussed how he doesn’t want to compete with actors like Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor, and Tiger Shroff over their dance skills. The Sarbjit actor remarked that they “can’t do” what he does on-screen and he cannot groove like them as he isn’t a “good” dancer, Randeep feels so.

“They are human beings who happen to be cops. That’s where you create a difference. And because I was not good at dancing, I chose to be good at this. So, why compete with Hrithik, Shahid and Tiger because they dance so well? They can’t do what I do. Find your USP,” the Highway actor said.

During the same event, Randeep Hooda further spoke about his journey in Bollywood while stating that he has been a part of meaningful and entertaining films in his career. Randeep continued that filmmakers can’t preach to the audience through cinema as “no one wants to listen to a lecture”. The Swatantrya Veer Savarkar actor added that the films can inform the audience through entertainment and referred to it as the “only thing” that the audience takes home after watching the movie.

Randeep Hooda’s Highway also starred Alia Bhatt in the lead role. Randeep’s performance in Imtiaz Ali’s 2014 directorial was well-received by the audience. Randeep’s other notable works include Once Upon a Time In Mumbaai, Murder 3, Kick, and Sultan.
