Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is known for his action-packed performances and is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated movie, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Akshay has a long history of not taking the help of body doubles and doing real stunts on his own.

There’s no shortcut to hard work: Akshay Kumar

In the same interview, Akshay was heard saying, “There's nothing called shortcut in life, whether it's your body or whether it's your work. Hard work has to be there. Just like I would call a VFX a shortcut. Even taking some kind of steroids for your body, a shortcut. And that way, even in your work also, hard work is important. There's nothing called a shortcut. I would just want them to know that the best way in life is to go through hard work.”

Furthermore, the actor addressed the risks associated with being an action hero and said, “Even if you are jumping off this stool, you should do all safety checks. You should know how to land. Similarly, it is important that whenever we do it, we ensure nothing goes wrong.”
