New Delhi, Mar 31 : Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Atomic Energy Commission of India (AECI) chief Anil Kakodkar were among the recipients of the Padma awards from President Pratibha Patil on Tuesday.
Aishwarya Rai, a former Miss World and now a member of the Bachchan family, received a Padma Shree award for her contribution to the field of entertainment.
Akshay Kumar, a globally acclaimed actor, also received a Padma Shree.
Akshay Kumar hurt himself badly on Wednesday morning while working out at his personal gym situated at his bungalow in Karjat.
We spoke to our source from sets,
"Akshayji has been shooting for a week now. He was at his bungalow in Karjat when the accident happened. He was doing pull-ups on the bar when the rod broke. He injured his hand and hurt his back. "
A heart-breaking news for the fans of big ticket Bollywood films is that two of upcoming summer’s biggest Bollywood releases – Kambakkht Ishq and Kaminey will be delayed. Akshay Kumar-Kareena Kapoor starrer Kambakkht Ishq and Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra starrer Kaminey were due in the last week of May (May 29th) and first week of June (June 5th) respectively but now chances are they could be pushed further due to the ongoing revenue sharing issue between multiplexes and producer/distributors.
Akshay Kumar: Akshay Kumar is perhaps the most reliable or ‘saleable’ actor in Hindi filmdom today along with Shah Rukh Khan with practically all his films over the last few years being hugely successfully at the box office. What’s more he has developed from an action hero in B–movies to a reasonably fine actor, in particular, displaying impeccable sense of comic timing in films like Garam Masala (2005), Bhagam Bhaag (2006) and Heyy Babyy (2007). And like Shah Rukh, he has made it to the top rung of Bollywood without any ‘filmi’ connections whatsoever.
It's back to square one for Bollywood as the beginning of second quarter of 2009 sees eyes set on Akshay Kumar all over again.
