Kambakkht Ishq has hit the bull's eye at the box office by grossing Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion) in the first week despite unfavourable reviews - and Akshay Kumar is having the last laugh.
However, Akshay Kumar said something a little different about his rise in Bollywood. He said "Really, ever since the time it became loud and clear that 'Kambakkht Ishq' had succeeded amongst the audiences, I'm being asked if I'm marching towards the top again. My reply to them is that I'm happy living and dying being where I am and that's anywhere but on top...See, I'm a clown and not a king. Once a clown, always a clown! I belong in the ring, not on the podium."
In his recent interview, he was the first to admit that he's more interested in clowning around rather than taking the throne. Still, he had some words for critics, saying "Well, critics to us are like how the tax man is to everyone. We all wish they didn't exist, but they do. It's up to the people if they want someone else to make decisions for them. I know they definitely had a whale of a time with this one, didn't they? What to do? I can't force them to be nice to me and I'm not the type to put a gun to anyone's head; so let them be. I have faith that my audience will come and prove my work's worth. And this time they surely have and I love them for it."
Though, the three Khan's never ganged up to keep their competitors at bay, but it seems their territory remains an off limit area for their detractors.
Well, with Akshay Kumar cooling his heels in the company of his third flop in a row, let's hope he's better prepared next time around.
