Akshay Kumar dismissed criticism over his recent box office flops, calling it "absurd" to write him off. He remained unfazed and committed to working hard, citing his three-decade-long career as proof of his resilience. For the unversed, Akshay's recent movies, such as Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Pandey, have underperformed at the box office.
Akshay Kumar breaks silence on box office flop criticisms
At the trailer launch of Khel Khel Mein, Akshay said, “Whatever happens, happens for the good, I don't think too much (about box office failure of his films). Four-five films of mine have not worked, and I get so many messages, saying, ‘sorry yaar, fikar mat kar' (Don't worry my friend). I'm not dead! "It feels like people are sending me obituary messages, like how people send condolences through messages. One journalist even wrote, ‘You'll be back', I called him up and asked, 'Why are you writing this? What does ‘back' mean? Where have I gone?'.”
He went on to state, “I'm here and I'll keep working. I'll always keep working irrespective of whatever people say. In the morning, I wake up, exercise, and leave for work and return home, whatever I earn, I earn on my own. I'll never snatch anything from anyone. I'll keep on working till they shoot me down (to stop me from working).”
