Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is unfazed by his rough run in the box office in recent times, as he exuded stoicism in the run-up to his next release, Khel Khel Mein.
Akshay was asked by a journalist over his consecutive flops in recent times at the trailer launch event of Khel Khel Mein.
The 56-year-old actor, who has delivered countless hits over the years, said he was surprised by the obiturary-type messages that he received amid the dismal run in the box office.
He said, Four or five of my films havent worked but people send me obituary messages. I havent died. I receive condolence-type messages. One of the journalists had even written Dont worry, you will be back. I rang him up and asked why was he writing such things? Where have I gone? I am in the market and working.
I will keep on working, no matter what people say. I wake up, go to work and return home. I earn with all my hardwork. I dont ask for anything. I will keep on working till people have to shoot me down.
