Akshay Kumar

A long road traveled; from a waiter in Bangkok, to one of the most successful actors in Bollywood, Akshay Kumar has come a long way. As an instructor in martial artist, Rajiv Bhatia always dreamt of making it big in that field but when a student suggested that with his good looks and a good built, he should take up modelling, the anonymous Rajiv Bhatia began his journey as Akshay Kumar who then slowly but surely worked his way up to becoming one of the most talented stars of the industry. Stunned at the pay package and his success as a model, Akshay took the next obvious step, and entered into films. However unlike most of the other stars in his time, Akshay neither had star parents, nor a godfather to launch him. Although his first few films were unsuccessful at the box office, they helped Akshay get noticed for his dancing abilities and his dare-devilish stunts. His first true hit film was 'Khiladi' and although it was a success, the top banners continued to be elusive until 'Yeh Dillagi' which not only got him recognition but marked his position as a top league actor.

Ace Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Law degree by the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada for his priceless work in film industry and also for his outstanding social work.

He was well known for his Khiladi series and comedy series like,Welcome, Bhool Bhoolayia Hera Pheri, Phit Hera Pheri, De Dana Dan, Romantic films like Namastey London, Heyy Baby, DHadkan, Dil To Pagal Hai, villain like Ajnabee. Akshay Kumar was always perfect in every role be it Comedy, Romatic, Villain or Khiladi leads.
