For the unversed, Akshay is a trained Karate, Taekwondo and Muay Thai artist. He’s spoken about his skills on numerous occasions. Back in 2015, as reported by GlamSham, Akshay confessed he learned Karate to impress a girl. “If I say the truth then I started learning martial arts because of a girl. There was one friend of mine who used to learn Karate and impress her all the time. I was left behind and I said I will also have to learn now and I’ll also do it. I started learning it and then I started loving martial arts more than the girl. That is what happened. It became a habit and eventually it was fun. That is how I started and then it just went on and on,” he said at the time.
On the work front, Akshay was recently seen in Ram Setu. The film was panned by critics but recorded as one of his biggest openers of the year.
