Akshay Kumar: I've Won A National Award After 26 Years, Agar Woh Bhi Aapka Mann Kare Toh Le Lo
Bollywood’s daredevil always speaks his mind and never minces his words. At a recent event, when asked about the controversy which surrounded his win at the National Awards, Khiladi Kumar said he is OK to give it back...
Last evening, Akshay Kumar inaugurated a hospital
dedicated only to stuntmen and their treatments. In collaboration with Dr
Ramakanth Panda, the actor also ensured to secure insurance policy for each

Apart from being a celebrity who is always up for a
cause, Akshay is also known for voicing his thoughts with clarity. The
controversy around his National Award has still not died down completely. At
the event, when the media asked him to share his opinion on it, Akshay yet
again spoke his heart out. He said, "I've been hearing since 25
years, whenever someone wins there is some discussion around it. Someone or the
other person always creates a controversy. 'He shouldn't have won, the other
person should have.' It's okay. I've won this after 26 years, agar woh bhi
aapka mann kare toh le lo."
Just as we said, in clear words, Akshay Kumar said that
he is absolutely fine to return the award if people are not convinced that he
deserves the honour.

Furthermore the actor, who has been highly praised for
his patriotic roles in films like Baby, Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty, Airlift,
Rustom, was asked to comment about the ongoing heated topic of Kulbhushan
Jadhav's death penalty in Pakistan. However, Akshay refused to comment on it
and said, “Can we talk about that later, this is about stuntmen. Let’s not take
away the glory from them."
