Quotes of Akshay
" The Basic Idea is that bad always gets killed positive character wins & I don't think there is anything wrong with that. If the negative role too strong & it has reasons towards it, why not?!"
"Acting is something that comes from within you. If you want to be a good actor you need to be a good human being-I think that's more than enough to be a good actor".
"Controversies are a package deal in this Industry, you just have to understand it and accept it".
"I savour the adulation & love I have been getting from my fans & the blessings of elders in my family. 14 years have given me a lot & I can't thank God & the industry enough".
" I am a human being and I can ignore some things some of the times; not all things all the time. If am being constantly provoked, I have to react. I did react a little bit, I somewhere also regret it. I just do my work, I don't get involved in any politics of games. I have achieved whatever I have, due to my own hard work & no one can take that away from me. I have done 120 films & out of that, about 80-85 are hits, the rests were average or flops or whatever, in all those years I have never said anything wrong about anyone. I've not wronged anyone. I feel very fortunate and proud that I have not rubbed anyone the wrong way in all my years here".
