He is one man for whom fear knows no meaning. All that he knows is that he is a 'Player', under whose wings, even winning takes immense pride to be associated with. He is none other than the 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi' Akshay Kumar, who celebrates his grand birthday today. Akki (as he is affectionately called), in his own way, showed (read 'proved') to the world that 'one does not need a famous surname to make it really Big in Bollywood'!

Having stated his career as a cook on the foreign shores, Akshay is an epitome of the fact about 'What hard work can do to a person'. His success in Bollywood can be attributed less to the 'call of his Lady Luck' and more to his dedication and sincerity. A testimony to this fact is in the form of some of the most iconic films that the B-O windows have ever seen, which includes the 'Khiladi' series, Yeh Dillagi, Mohra, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Dil To Pagal Hai, Hera Pheri, Khakee, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Singh Is Kinng...the list is practically endless! And if the buzz around his reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi -Season 2' and the magnum opus flick Blue (which is just around the corner) are anything to go by, then, people, waste no time to crown today's Birthday Boy Akki as the 'Numero Uno' of Bollywood till eternity!
