Akshay Kumar Birthday Special: The Actor's Best Films That We Can Watch Over & Over Again
From being a chef in Bangkok to becoming one of India's biggest superstars, Akshay Kumar's journey in the film industry is every bit inspiring. The actor who once didn't have even Rs 200 in his pocket, is today one of the highest tax payers in the country. Like they say, there's no secret to success. It's the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failures, and Akshay is a living example of that.
"The only one thing for me is to keep on working everyday. Because that will keep me alive. I love work, I love my holidays, I love having a family life and that's exactly I want. Yeh legacy, vegacy toh hoti rahti hai, kujh nahi aata (legacy is useless, it's of no use)," Akshay had said in one of his interviews.
As Akshay Kumar turns a year older today (September 9, 2022), we bring you some of his best films over the years, that we can never get tired of watching on screen.

Co-starring Ayesha Jhulka, Deepak Tijori and Sabeeha, the film has enough twists and turns to keep you glued to your seats.
Mohra
If Raveena Tandon left us gasping for breath by going 'tip tip barsa' in the rains, Akshay Kumar also packed a punch with his cop act in Rajiv Rai's Mohra.
Main Khiladi Tu Anari
Akshay Kumar's fun-filled bromance with Saif Ali Khan is one of the highlights of this 1994 action-comedy. Also, our hearts went 'chura ki dil mere' over his sizzling chemistry with Shilpa Shetty in the film!
