Age has not affected anything: Akshay Kumar

TIL Desk Bollywood/ He is 50 but Akshay Kumar continues to defy age with his looks, physique, stunts and spirit. While he says his passion gets him going, industry experts say the fact he keeps reinventing himself with right stories has helped his success story.

The National Award-winning actor, who will soon be seen judging Star Plus’ comedy show “The Great Indian Laughter Challenge”, started his career in 1991 with “Saugandh”. But it was “Khiladi” in 1992 which eventually gave him the epithet as Bollywood’s ‘Khiladi’.

After establishing himself as a master of action roles, he moved into romantic and comedy zomes with films like “Hera Pheri”, “Dhadkan”, “Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love”, “Welcome”, “Singh Is Kinng” and “Housefull”.

His movies “OMG: Oh My God”, “Special 26”, “Holiday”, “Airlift”, “Rustom”, “Jolly LLB 2” and the latest “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” have only added to his list of fans. In 26 years of his bumpy ride as an actor, Akshay has come a long way. But he says he still has the enthusiasm of a youngster whenever he takes up a new project.
