Akshay Kumar Hits Back at Trolls: “I’m Not Dead!”

Bollywood Megastar Faces Backlash After Box Office Failures

Akshay Kumar, the reigning king of Bollywood, has found himself in the midst of a career slump. A string of recent box office failures has led to an unexpected wave of sympathy, or rather, what the actor deems as “condolence messages.”

At the trailer launch of his upcoming film, Khel Khel Mein, Akshay candidly addressed the issue, stating, “I get so many messages – ‘sorry yaar, fikar mat kar’ (Don’t worry my friend). Abbey mara nahi hoon main (I am not dead)!” The actor’s humorous yet assertive response has garnered both praise and sympathy from fans and industry peers alike.

Kumar’s resilience in the face of adversity is commendable. Despite the setbacks, he remains determined to continue working hard and delivering quality content. “I will keep on working till they have to shoot me down,” he declared.

This isn’t the first time a Bollywood star has faced such public scrutiny. The industry is notoriously fickle, and the pressure to deliver hits can be immense. However, Akshay’s response serves as a reminder that even the biggest stars are human and experience ups and downs.
