Akshay Kumar, known for his action-packed roles and comedic timing, has carved a niche as one of India's top film stars. Renowned for his dedication to fitness and discipline, Akshay has starred in numerous blockbuster movies spanning various genres, including action, comedy, and drama. His recent film, Sarfira, premiered on July 12, starring Radhika Madan and Paresh Rawal alongside him. The actor, who has been actively promoting the film, opened up about being cheated by 'a few producers in the industry.'
In a conversation on 'Sarfiri Baatein ft. Ghazal Alagh,' Akshay posed a question to the entrepreneur, asking, "Have you ever been deceived in your business?" He then shared a personal anecdote about experiencing betrayal, following Ghazal's statement that 'cheating is unacceptable.'
Without taking any names, Akshay said, "This is the something we have in common. Main uske baad main usse baat hi nahin karta, chup ho jaata hoon apna side mein nikal jaata hoon... ek do producers ki payment nahin aati hain and that is cheating only... (I just don't talk to that person, who cheats me. I go silent.. it has happened to me. A few producers haven't cleared my dues)."
