A fan defended the actor saying, 'It's a guest appearance and he didn't charge anything for this role you can give this much of liberty for his act of kindness.'
Akshay Kumar's real-life journey is a quintessential tale of the triumph of the human spirit. From his humble beginnings to becoming one of the biggest superstars of the Indian film industry, his story is an inspiration to millions.
It's important to note that the actor's path to success was not paved with ease but marked by relentless hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in his abilities. His rise from a martial arts instructor to a global icon, even today, epitomizes the essence of defying odds to carve one's destiny.
Akshay Kumar's early life was a blend of struggle and determination. After obtaining a black belt in Taekwondo in India, he ventured to Bangkok, Thailand, where he learned Muay Thai and worked as a chef and waiter. His journey continued through various jobs in Kolkata, Dhaka, and Delhi, including working at a travel agency, a hotel, and selling jewelry. These experiences not only tested his resilience but also fueled his dream of achieving something greater. Returning to Bombay, he began teaching martial arts, a decision that would inadvertently steer him towards his true calling.
Also, Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor have done several films together- Ajnabee, Talaash, Dosti, Aitraaz, Good Newwz, and Kambakkht Ishq, to name a few. Producer Pahlaj Nihalani has now spoken to a channel called Learn From The Legend, and revealed how the actor wished to have the actress on board for their film Talaash that came out in 2003.

Nihalani revealed, 'Earlier, producers and directors used to cast and heroes wouldn't interfere in casting. The first actor to interfere in casting with me was Akshay Kumar in Talash in 2002. He told me that 'we can start the movie tomorrow, and you can give me any amount that you want, but the heroine of this film will be Kareena Kapoor.' It was one of the most costly films of that time, it was made in Rs 22 crore. This was the first time in my career that an actor had demanded a certain cast.'

Over 25 Shots Fired At Kapil Sharma's Canada Cafe, 2nd Time In A Month
New Delhi: Shots were fired at comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada's Surrey for a second time this month. Two gangs - Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon, and Lawrence Bishnoi - in posts on social media claimed responsibility for the attack. At least 25 gunshots were heard in the purported video of the attack that surfaced on social media. A voice was also heard saying in the video, amid the crack of the gunshots, "... We had called the target, but he didn't hear the ring, so we had to take action. If he still doesn't hear the ring, the next action will be taken soon in Mumbai." The Mumbai Police and other security agencies are looking into the matter, sources said. The first attack at the comedian's newly opened Kap's Cafe happened on July 10, when some employees were still inside. No one was injured in the firing. At least 10 bullet holes were found in a window at the cafe, while another window pane was shattered. Kaps Cafe has said they will stand "firm" against violence to keep the place a symbol of "warmth and community" for its visitors. The local police said they were aware of reports in the Indian media that claimed a Khalistani separatist took responsibility for the July 10 shooting.

Saiyaara actor Varun Badola makes shocking revelations about the movie's promotions: 'Little overboard…, man in drip was…'
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's debut film Saiyaara has created a stir in Indian cinema. Directed by Mohit Suri, this film is not only breaking records at the box office, but has also set a new example in the romantic musical genre. It has become the first romantic film to earn such a huge amount. It has received a tremendous response from the audience, so tremendous that videos of fans' emotional reactions on social media have become a viral sensation. Now, an actor of the film has given a big statement regarding Saiyaara, which is surprising everyone. This actor is none other than Varun Badola, who plays the onscreen role of Krish Kapoor's father. Varun Bodala is a popular TV star who is known for his work in Meri Dad Ki Dulhan, Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand, Kohra, Kumkum and Qubool Hai . Were people paid for indirectly promoting Saiyaara? As soon as the film was released, several videos surfaced showing young people lying on the floor inside and outside theatres, tearing their T-shirts, crying uncontrollably, and even fainting. The most attention-grabbing of these was a video of a young man named Faizal, a resident of Sadana, who came to watch the film in a theatre with an IV drip attached, leaving people shocked. After the video went viral, the focus shifted from the man's emotions to the film's marketing strategy. Many began speculating that this was a PR stunt by the makers to ensure the film's success. Some argued that such actions couldn't have come from regular moviegoers and claimed that these people were paid participants, questioning, 'Why would a common man do something like this in a theatre?' Varun Badola clarified that he understands the need and process of promotion, but it feels good only within a limit. He told Screen, 'No film can earn 500 crores based on Instagram promotion alone. This means that people are actually going and watching the film and they are liking it very much.' 'By the third or fourth day, the film was being talked about. I saw the euphoria on Instagram. Log jo chudiyaan tod rahe hain, chhaatiyaan peet rahe hai (People were breaking their bangles, beating their chest). I think the promotions team went a little overboard there, where people are going to see the film, putting IV drips', he added. He concluded, 'Those people must have been told to give content in some way; thank god, people didn't get their legs broken and went crawling to see the film. It's okay. We understand promoting the film, but it's good only up to a certain level. However, the film cannot earn so much money just based on Instagram promotions. People have gone and seen the film, and they have loved it.'
