Finally someone in Bollywood admits the truth! We see so many nepotism debates but even outsiders like Akshay who made it big acknowledge luck. His journey from waiter to superstar, doing stunts without backup - hardwork bhi thi, but timing and luck mattered too. Respect for this humility. 👏

Interesting perspective from a global superstar. In America, we talk about the "American Dream" being all hard work, but Akshay's honesty about luck is refreshing. I've seen many talented people not make it in Hollywood too. But he still worked incredibly hard - 30 years in the industry is no accident.

I appreciate his honesty but slightly disagree. Luck only helps those who are already working hard. If Akshay hadn't done those action films and built his brand, luck would mean nothing. But yes, thousands of background dancers and extras in Bollywood work equally hard - the system is unfair that way. Good that he acknowledges it.

ये बात बिल्कुल सच है! (This is absolutely true!) I'm from Delhi and have seen so many talented actors struggling in Mumbai for years. My cousin tried for 5 years, worked as an extra in 20 films, but never got the break. Meanwhile, star kids launch overnight. Akshay speaking from experience - he came from nothing too. Respect. 🙏
