Bollywood’s Akshay Kumar




Kamla Bhatt Show show

Summary: (http://kamlashow.com/podcast/wp-content/uploads/akshaykumar-138x150.jpg)Bollywood's Akshay Kumar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akshay_Kumar) talks about his new movie Tees Maar Khan, directed by Farah Khan. The film stars Katrina Kaif, Akshaye Khanna and others. Akshay talks about his new film Tees Maar Khan, and  his next film Breakaway, where he has a cameo appearance in the form of a music video with Ludacris, an American rap singer. He also talks about his love for music, especially with Punjabi rappers and musicians.  Snoop Dogg was featured in Singh is Kking (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRraAQ-VgvQ), and was perhaps the first time that a wel-known American rap singer was featured in a Bollywood film. Akshay was a a sport and and did our version of rapid fire questions. (Hat tip to Karan Johar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karan_Johar) for his rapid fire question series.) Originally from Delhi he confesses that becoming a Bollywood star was far from his mind. Instead, he was interested in martial arts and becoming a teacher of martial arts. As luck would have it he got a couple of offers from Bollywood and that started off his career in tinsel town in Bombay, now called Mumbai. Akshay is married to Twinkle Khanna, daughter of Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna. The couple have a son and live in Mumbai, India. The interview was recorded in the USA.
