Akshay Kumar is one of the most successful actors in the industry. He began his career in the 90s and has established himself as a versatile actor over time. Recently, the actor’s co-star, Guddi Maruti, recalled working with him and mentioned he was a good person but had a flirtatious attitude. She also revealed that she knows about 1 or 2 of his ex-girlfriends from that phase of his life. 

In a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan, Guddi Maruti, known for her comedy roles in films, discussed her experience working with Akshay Kumar. For those unaware, the actress got to share the screen space with him in the film Khiladi.

She said, “I am telling na Akshay Kumar whatever films I have done with him, he was very nice, abhi I have not met him for a long time so I guess he must not have changed.”

Guddi added that the Welcome actor used to always be jovial on set and have fun with the team members, and she thinks he would be the same person today. 

Next, the host, Siddharth, mentioned that Kumar was known for being flirtatious during that time. In her reply, Guddi agreed and said, “Oh yes, kaafi girlfriends thi uski, ha thi acchi khasi, 1-2 to maloom hai mujhe. But on set, he was always very nice to work with. Jo mera saamne thi, ek time pe ek hi.” (Oh yes, he had many girlfriends. I know about 1-2, but on the set, he was nice to work with and had one girlfriend at a time.) 

Kannan further pressed the issue and asked if Akshay was the one who led to their heartbreak or if he got his heart broken.

Maruti said, “Ek ad ka usne toda hai, I think ek ad nahi zyaada ussi ne toda hoga. Banta bada bhola tha, straight face and bhola type but baad mein itni kahaaniya itne kissse sune.” (I think he broke one or more hearts, not just one, but he would have broken more hearts.)

The Dulhe Raja actress explained that she later heard some stories about the actor, but he used to always come across as an innocent and straight-faced person. But she did enjoy working with him and found him to be a good person. 

Akshay Kumar married Rajesh Khanna’s daughter Twinkle Khanna in 2001, and the couple has two children, son, Aarav and a daughter, Nitara. 

Bollywood has a big Diwali with two major releases including Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again and Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Recently, Bhushan Kumar who co-produced the Kartik starrer revealed that both sides met and tried their best to avoid clash. But, due to pre-commitment to OTT platforms and creative reasons, it couldn’t happen. He also shared that Vidya Balan didn’t do Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 because she wasn’t sure how her role would come out in the film, but later liked it.

In a candid interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bhushan Kumar discussed the clash of his Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. He revealed that everyone knew that both the film’s were a part of a big film franchise with a lot of value. So, both sides tried to avoid the clash but everyone had their reasons to release it on Diwali. 

Sharing the reason behind the same, he mentioned that they had a pre-commitment deal with OTT platforms and weren’t allowed to change it. Meanwhile, Singham Again makers had a similar issue and a creative need because their film held a theme of Ramayana and the festival was a suitable occasion for its release. 

He said, “We met and discussed ke hum kis tarike se clash avoid kare, unhone ne bhi try kiya, humne bhi try kiya, lekin woh issi majboori ki wajah se possible nahi ho gaya.” (We met and discussed to somehow avoid the clash, they tried and even tried but due to these issues it was not possible.) 

Kumar was also asked if he was upset with Vidya Balan earlier for not being a part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. But, he denied the claim and mentioned that the actress had a reason for it.

He recalled that Vidya said that she got a lot of love and appreciation for her role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa that she did during the initial phase of career in Bollywood. 

So, she wasn’t sure how her role would be in the second part and if it wouldn’t be good that she didn’t want to hamper the appreciation she received earlier. However, when Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 became a hit she went to see the film and liked it. 

Moreover, she even called up Bhushan expressing her admiration for the film. So,he mentioned that he asked her at that point to be a part of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and they were finally able to bring her on-board. The film also stars Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri, Rajpal Yadav and more and is directed by Anees Bazmee.
