At the age of 50, Akshay Kumar is setting unbeatable fitness goals like it’s child’s play and we are here still chalking out schedule to hit the gym and work out. Akshay is seen ‘hula hooping’ wooden beads around his waist and mentions how this workout is great for the back and stomach muscles.

Akshay posted the video on his Instagram with the caption, “Core training my way through the summer heat with these wooden beads…great for the back and stomach muscles. Also best time of the year to sweat it out. Time for a #FitIndia.”

In the video, it looks like an easy thing to do, but it’s definitely not. Hats off Akshay, you are the biggest fitness inspiration we’ll ever need in our life.

Earlier this year, Akshay stunned us all with his epic ‘hand walk’ at an event in Delhi.

Pakistani singer-actor Meesha Shafi, who made her debut in the film industry with Mira Nair’s ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’, has come forward and accused Ali Zafar of sexually harassing her, not just once but multiple times. 

She claims that the actor-singer has harassed her several times when they have worked together.

With several sexual harassment cases flooding the social media, here comes another. The #MeToo has been trending and bringing several stories that can shake your soul and leave you panicking. Her post comes out in support of the movement that has created a revolution in the industry. 

Taking to her Twitter, in loud and clear words she wrote, this didn’t happen when she was young or a newcomer, but this all happened when she was an accomplished woman. “Sharing this because I believe that by speaking out about my own experience of sexual harassment, I will break the culture of silence that permeates through our society. It is not easy to speak out. but it is harder to stay silent. My conscience will not allow it anymore #MeToo”

In the post she explains how she remained silent and suffered through it despite being a vocal and empowered woman, reminding us of the times many females have done the same. “As a woman, a public figure and a mother, I have always felt strongly about using my voice to encourage and support our youth who look up to me, especially the girls, who dream of carving their own path in Pakistan. …However, despite having a voice there are some issues that are difficult to speak about as a woman, especially sexual harassment.”

Meesha, whom we have also seen in Rakesh Omprakash Mehra’s ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, continued, “I have been subjected, on more than one occasion, to sexual harassment of a physical nature at the hands of a colleague from my industry – Ali Zafar. These incidences did not happen when I was young or just entering the industry. This happened to me despite the fact that I am an empowered, accomplished woman who is known for speaking her mind! This happened to me as a mother of two children.”

Continuing and sharing about the horrific incident she wrote, “Ali is someone I have known for many years and someone I shared the stage with. I feel betrayed by his behaviour and his attitude and I know that I am not alone.”

Meesha’s post clearly says that she is sharing her story now so that more girls can come out and she can encourage them to follow their dreams. 

Ali is a popular actor and we have seen him in Bollywood movies like ‘Dear Zindagi’, ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’, ‘Tere Bin Laden’ and ‘Chashme Baddoor’ among others. Ali’s music has also seen quite a lot of success in India.

Ali hasn’t responded yet and we are waiting to see what he has to say about Shafi’s accusations.

What happens when a crook who bullies others for a living is bullied in his own home? Welcome to Nanu Ki Jaanu – 2018’s first madcap horror comedy about a crook dealing with a very singular situation – a ghost in love. Starring Abhay Deol and Patralekhaa in lead roles, expect lots of horror, tons of laughter and dare we say, love? You will not be ready for this roller coaster of emotions.

Akshay Kumar is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and hardworking actors in Bollywood. From doing cheesy romantic movies where he is fighting for his love to taking up socially relevant and hard-hitting movies, Akshay Kumar has done it all.

Akshay is one of those few actors who took the risk of doing movies like ‘Jolly LLB 2’, ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ and ‘Padman’ and turned them into the biggest blockbusters, while creating awareness among people about social issues like menstrual hygiene and open defecation.  

This time around, Akshay has taken up another challenging movie, ‘Kesari’, which focuses on the Battle of Saragarhi. We are already impressed with his look of Havildar Ishar Singh.

Now, we just got another reason to respect him even more for his dedication towards his movies that he refused to leave despite suffering injuries. Reportedly, Akshay is currently shooting in Wai in Satara district, and while performing an intense action sequence, he injured his ribs. Akshay was advised to take rest and despite several suggestions to go back to Mumbai, he decided to stay back in Wai, although there was a chopper on standby. Stunt coordinator Lawrence Woodward, who has choreographed action scenes for movies like ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’, is training Akshay in sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat.

Even at the age of 50, Akshay is performing his own stunts and refused to go back after getting injured. If this doesn’t make you respect his dedication towards his movies, we wonder what will!

Since, the actors make these action scenes look like child’s play, we never realize how hard they work for it and how much they have to go through while performing the stunts. Last year, 55-year-old actor Tom Cruise also got badly injured while shooting for ‘Mission: Impossible Fallout’.

‘Kesari’ is a period film based on the Saragarhi battle of 1897, fought between 21 Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army and nearly 10,000 Afghan Orakzai tribesmen. ‘Kesari’, which will hit the theatres in 2019, is directed by Anurag Singh and also stars Parineeti Chopra.
