The actor was born on 9 September 1967 in Amritsar, Punjab. His real name is Rajiv Hariom Bhatia. His father was in the Indian Army. We are talking about Akshay Kumar. His family stayed in Delhi for a few years and then came to Mumbai. Here he studied at Don Bosco School and took admission in Khalsa College, but the mind was less in studies and more in martial arts. From the eighth grade, he started taking training in Taekwondo and later learned to go to Bangkok. While staying there, he also worked as a chef and waiter in the hotel. (Photo courtesy: imDB)

Akshay started taking martial arts class in Mumbai after returning from Bangkok. It was here that one of his students, who was also a photographer, advised him to try his hand in modeling. Akshay did not get much success in modeling initially. To get a portfolio built, he worked for free with a photographer for about 15 months. He slowly started getting small modeling projects and Akshay felt that he could also try his hand in acting. (Photo courtesy: Instagram@akshaykumar)

Akshay got a small role in Mahesh Bhatt’s film ‘Aaj’ in 1987, in which he became a martial arts instructor. This role was just 17 seconds, but he did not give up. He continued to audition. He also auditioned for the 1992 film ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander’, but he did not get that role. Later that film was done by Aamir Khan and was a super hit. Luck had thought something else for Akshay.

One day Akshay was called for a fashion show in Bengaluru. Akshay felt the flight in the evening, while it was in the morning. As a result, he missed the flight and got out of the show. He remained disappointed all day. When he returned home, the mother explained that don’t be disappointed, something will be better. The same day Akshay reached Natraj Studio, where he met Pramod Chakraborty’s makeup man Narendra. Narendra sought a picture from Akshay and showed Pramod Chakraborty. According to the IANS report, Akshay was called inside after some time and he was offered the lead role for the film ‘Didar’. The special thing is that when he was handed over the check, then the clock was exactly 6 o’clock at the same time when there was a morning flight. This coincidence changed the direction of Akshay’s life. (Photo courtesy: imDB)

Akshay’s first film ‘Saugandh’ was released in 1991, but the real identity came from the 1992 film Khiladi. After this, the ‘player’ became a part of his name. Films like ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’, ‘Biggest Khiladi’, ‘Khiladi Ka Khiladi’, ‘International Khiladi’, ‘Khiladi 420’ and ‘Khiladi 786’ made Akshay ‘Bollywood player Kumar’. (Photo courtesy: imDB)

Akshay started with action, but then he proved himself in comedy. Films like ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Garam Masala’, ‘Phir Hera Pheri’, ‘Bhagam Bhag’, and ‘Bhool Bhulaiya’ converted his image into a versatile artist. In films like ‘Airlift’, ‘Rustom’, ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, and ‘Padman’, she played serious and social roles, which made her identity not just the masala actor, but also the responsible artist who says the stories related to the society.

Talking about the awards, Akshay received the National Award for Best Actor for ‘Rustom’ in 2017. In 2009, he was also awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India. Today Akshay Kumar is considered one of the most fit and professional actors in India. His lifestyle is very disciplined. He gets up early in the morning and follows shooting time very strictly.
