Akshay Kumar Credits Luck, Not Talent, for Bollywood Success, Reveals Health Secrets

Akshay Kumar recently opened up about his habits that have enabled him to have a successful career by maintaining longevity. He also mentioned that there are people far better looking and talented than him, but they just haven’t gotten a chance in films yet.In an interview with ABP News, Akshay said, “There are so many people better looking, more talented, and more deserving than me. I see them and think, they’re better than me. But they haven’t gotten the chance yet. That’s where luck really comes in. I’ve just been lucky to be in the right place at the right time."Talking about his healthy habits, the actor added, “Yes, I eat chole puri, jalebis, barfis. I’m not someone who counts calories or proteins every time. I live like a normal person. But I never eat anything after 6:30 pm, not even a snack. I’ve been following this for 20 years. At parties, sometimes I’ll pretend to toast with a drink or take a bite of cake out of courtesy, but I don’t enjoy it. I haven’t had alcohol in years," he said.The ‘Mohra’ actor also explained his approach to alcohol at parties, saying, “Sometimes, I have to fool people as they give drinks and I do cheers with them but then throw it away because I don’t even enjoy it.”Akshay was last seen in ‘Jolly LLB 3’, co-starring Arshad Warsi. He will next appear in Priyadarshan’s horror comedy ‘Bhoot Bangla’ alongside Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Paresh Rawal. He is also reuniting with Priyadarshan for ‘Haiwaan’, teaming up with Saif Ali Khan for the first time since ‘Tashan’, and will also feature in ‘Hera Pheri 3’ with Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty.
