Akshay
Kumar
has
many
reasons
to
celebrate.
The
man
had
four
releases
last
year
and
all
the
films
were
superhit
at
the
Box
Office.
This
year,
his
first
release
Tashan
failed
to
create
the
same
magic
but
Akshay
did
walk
away
with
loads
of
praises
for
his
performance.
The
actor
will
soon
be
making
his
appearance
on
the
small
screen
as
well
by
hosting
a
reality
show
called
Fear
Factor-
Khatron
Ke
Khiladi.
And
if
this
was
not
enough,
Akki
will
now
be
receiving
an
honorary
doctorate
from
a
Canadian
University.
"The
University
of
Windsor,
Ontario,
Canada,
will
bestow
Akshay
with
an
honorary
doctorate
on
May
9.
It's
basically
for
all
the
social
work
that
he
has
done
in
Canada.
The
University
called
him
up
to
present
him
the
doctorate," says
Akshay's
spokesperson.
In
the
recent
past,
such
kind
of
honorary
doctorates
from
foreign
Universities
were
given
to
film
personalities
like
Yash
Chopra,
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Shabana
Azmi
and
Shilpa
Shetty.
