Recently, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar left a lasting impression on the audience with his outstanding performance in Kesari Chapter 2. In a recent interview, he opened up about his emotions and shared the challenges he has faced throughout his career.
Akshay Kumar on Facing Criticism and His Desire to Improve
In 2023 and beyond, Akshay Kumar has been part of several high-profile projects (Selfie, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfarosh, Mission Raniganj, and Sky Force), but over the past few years, many of his films have not performed as expected at the box office. As a result, he has often faced criticism. Now, the actor has spoken candidly about it, saying that sometimes when the criticism is too harsh, it does hurt him.
In a recent interview with the Zee Music company, Akshay Kumar discussed criticism and his fears. When asked if he gets hurt by criticism, he responded, "The audience is the real boss because they are the ones who pay for the entire experience. When they clap for me, it motivates me, and when they criticize, it teaches me something. I always want to improve my work. When I receive honest feedback from the audience, whether it's about my acting or the script, I don’t want to ignore it. At times, I’ve even changed things based on what the audience said."
Akshay further added, "Criticism can be painful at times, but if it comes from the heart, it helps you become better."
Akshay Kumar Reveals What He Fears the Most
During the same interview, Akshay, often known as Khiladi Kumar, also shared what scares him the most. He said, "Aside from falling from a helicopter, my biggest fear is waking up one day and not receiving any messages. On that day, I would feel like my time is up and that I’m no longer needed. That’s why I don’t want to stop."
He went on to say, "I want to keep working. I don’t want to shorten my life by taking rest. I want it to be a long one. I’ll rest when I’m no longer here."
Work Front
On the work front, Akshay Kumar was recently seen in the film Kesari Chapter 2, which released this month. In the upcoming days, he will be seen in Welcome to the Jungle, Housefull 5 (2025), Jolly LLB 3, Hera Pheri 3, and Bhoot Bangla
