Akshay Kumar Says ‘Money Matters To Me But Only In A Limited Way’
After making the Forber 2019 list of the world’s highest paid entertainers, Akshay Kumar opened up in an interview about how much money matters to him.
Akshay
Kumar
is
one
celeb
who,
time
and
again,
proves
that
it
is
possible
that
quantity
does
not
lead
to
a
compromise
on
quality.
Unlike
other
actors
in
the
Hindi
film
industry,
Akshay
juggles
a
handful
of
projects
every
year,
and
manages
to
deliver
amazing
performances.
The
Khiladi
of
Bollywood
has
carved
a
niche
for
himself
in
the
industry
as
one
of
the
most
hardworking
celebs,
and
so
it
came
as
no
surprise
when
he
was
named
in
the
Forbes
2019
list
of
the
world's
highest-paid
entertainers!
Akshay
Kumar
beat
world-renowned
celebs
such
as
Rihanna,
Bradley
Cooper,
Scarlett
Johansson,
Katy
Perry,
Lady
Gaga,
and
so
on,
in
the
Forbes
2019
list
of
world's
highest-paid
entertainers.
The
actor
got
candid
about
what
this
means
to
him
in
an
interview
with
the
Hindustan
Times.
He
said,
"Surely,
it
feels
good.
But
I
just
go
through
the
headline
and
not
the
detailed
copy.
On
a
serious
note,
money
does
matter
to
me
but
only
in
a
limited
way.
And
I
know
it's
my
hard-earned
money.
I
work
extremely
hard
for
each
and
every
penny.
Money
doesn't
come
easily
to
you.
I
have
put
my
sweat
and
blood
for
that.
So,
yes,
it
does
matter
to
me."
Having
acted
in
off-beat,
quirky
films
such
as
Kesari,
Padman,
Holiday,
Baby,
Naam
Shabana
and
more,
no
one
can
box
Akshay
Kumar
as
a
conventional
actor
anymore.
He
is
proving
this
point
once
again
with
his
upcoming
film
Mission
Mangal.
The
film
revolves
around
the
Indian
Space
Research
Organisation
scientists,
who
successfully
launched
Mangalyaan,
India's
mission
to
Mars.
The
film
is
directed
by
Jagan
Shakti,
and
it
also
stars
Vidya
Balan,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Taapsee
Pannu,
Kirti
Kulhari,
Sharman
Joshi,
and
Nithya
Menen.
It
is
scheduled
to
hit
theatres
this
Independence
Day.
