Home | Movies Akshay Kumar says:

It will be cowardly on my part to blame them for it. I feel I should rather take the blame myself, because I wanted to do those films. Now, when I want to do different roles, I am doing that too. I am ready for bouquets and brickbats. (On filmmakers cashing on his action star image)      There are people in the industry who have ten affairs, but no one is talking about them. I've had two or three affairs and people just want to pounce on me.

You never know what the audience likes. Some of our greatest hits like Ek Duuje Ke Liye and Sholay were written off. But they caught on and audiences went berserk. Even today, Sholay is chicken soup for the sickened soul. (On the unpredictability of the box-office)      If they call me a B-grade actor, I accept it. B stands for my Bread and Butter.

Industry folk say:

I was instinctively sure that he was right for the role and I have been proved correct on that. He has performed brilliantly. (Filmmaker Tanuja Chandra on working with the star in Sangharsh)      Working with Akshay was marvellous, we hit it off so well. (Actor Bobby Deol on his costar of Ajnabee)

Akshay is such a prankster. He never let anyone on their own for too long. Soon, we started guessing who his next target would be. (Actress Bipasha Basu on working with Akki in Ajnabee, Aankhen)      Akshay and me were perfect against each other. We're very different kinds of people -- me chatty, frivolous and easygoing. Him, serious, quiet and more of the body-building kind. So it worked well for both of us. (Saif Ali Khan on his costar of Yeh Dillagi, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Keemat, Tu Chor Main Sipahi)
