Akshay
Has
Learnt
From
His
Experiences
"I
have
this
habit
of
listening
to
lots
of
people's
stories
and
learning
from
their
experiences.
Like,
I
love
hearing
about
what
happened
with
Rajendra
Kumar,
or
Sunil
Dutt
saab,
or
Rajesh
Khanna,
or
some
producer,
and
I've
learnt
from
their
experiences."
There's
Nothing
Called
A
'Star'
"And
the
fact
remains,
there's
nothing
called
a
star.
Kyunki
aaj
hai,
kal
nahi
[It's
there
today,
gone
tomorrow].
Yeh
mein
bahut
jaldi
seekh
gaya
[I
learnt
this
quite
early
on].
So
I
never
took
the
idea
of
stardom
very
seriously."
Akshay
On
Being
Called
'Khiladi'
"Sure,
they
call
me
Khiladi
viladi,
and
they
still
do.
For
the
last
15
years
in
the
industry,
I
haven't
made
a
'Khiladi' film,
yet
if
I
step
out,
people
say,
"Aye
Khiladi!"
Even
if
I
do
50
more
films,
woh
naam
hatega
hi
nahi."
Here's
Why
He
Feels
So..
"But,
I
have
never
taken
the
word
'star'
seriously,
because
I'm
very
scared
that
this
is
all
going
to
go
away."
"I
have
even
heard
stories
of
people
going
mental,
when
this
star
[syndrome]
has
been
taken
seriously,
and
things
have
started
falling
apart.
Because
this
is
a
very
deadly
industry.
Kabhi
bhi
gira
sakti
hai.
Kuch
bhi
ho
sakta
hai."
