instead. On 26 July 2007 the couple sent a legal notice to the tabloid,

clear representation of careless and irresponsible journalism. The
freedom of press comes with responsibilities, which seems to have been

Biography: Known as Mr Khiladi for his roles in a
series of films with the name Khilari, and also for his tendency to
date his co-stars, Akshay Kumar is currently enjoying a level of
success that is truly a threat to even King Khan. Akshay began his
career as a waiter in a Bangkok restaurant. His expertise in the
martial arts and his well-sculpted physical appearance helped him get a
break in Bollywood. He enjoyed a fair degree of success in the early
years and has always been considered an average performer. No longer
so, when he has switched from his earlier action roles to comedy
films. In 2007 Akshay delivered four successive blockbusters and was
one of the highest earning actors in the year. He was the only real
challenger to Shah Rukh’s domination at the box office. And going by
the present trend, it should not be surprising if he gets ahead of them
all…
