A biography for Akshay Kumarhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm an athletic actor. I'm known for my action; I'm a guy who does my own stunts on screen.”
“I could break bricks with my hands when I was 12.”
“I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way. I stand by moments; I do not stand by time.”
“I once told someone I could act. They totally bought it. I've been getting away with it ever since.”
“The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces.”
“I have earned enough money in my life. When I started my career, for about 10 years, I told myself I want to make money. Now, I just want to do different roles.”
“I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family.”
“I'm glad that I'm being acclaimed as an actor. Today, when my hard work has paid off I can chill out about it.”
“Why bother with Google when I have a wife who knows everything about everything!”
“My dad was a Punjabi from Amritsar, and my mom is a Punjabi from Kashmir. My dad was a soldier in the Indian Army.”
“For a guy who used to steal watches on the streets of Chandni Chowk for kicks, I surely think my success at the age of 22 was pretty early!”
“I have a great time cooking and eating Thai green chicken curry.”
“Always think twice before you decide to do anything for a film. It may seem like a career-changing idea, but think of your family and your future before doing anything risky. Train properly, because looking strong and being strong are two different things.”
“There's absolutely nothing irrational about me; insane, yes, irrational, no. But my dumbest fear would be spinning in the magic tea cups. Who the hell wants to pay to spin around like a bent yoyo for laughs?”
“I can cook because my life depended on it when I lived in Thailand. Either I learnt cooking, or I learnt how it felt to starve. I chose cooking.”
“Superstars come and go. I want to make sure I am always a producer's actor. I may be refused to be called a great actor but I have never troubled any of my producers in my life. Honesty always catches the camera, and that is what my strength is.”
“If you are in Bangkok, you will find that people there will never speak to you without joining their hands. It's not that they are speaking to you like that because you are tourists. They even speak at their home like that.”
“I enjoy the risk of bungee-jumping. I used to pay money to do it. Now, it's the opposite. I get paid to do action.”
“I'll do at least one action film every year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.”
“It takes two hands to clap! I cannot be solely blamed for what happened in my relationships! If things soured, it happened because of both parties. Not just me!”
