In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, many people come to Mumbai with a suitcase full of dreams and aspirations to make it big on the silver screen. However, there are only a few rare gems that can achieve that massive success and earn such stardom. One such example of this is Bollywood’s most celebrated actor, who had a very humble beginning but slowly reached the heights of success that made him one of the most bankable stars of Bollywood

The actor we are talking about is none other than Khilladi of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar. Long before Akshay Kumar ruled the entertainment industry, he was working in Bangkok, where he was training in martial arts and also used to cook food to make ends meet. Later, he started doing modelling and eventually entered the film industry. His first paycheck as an actor was Rs 50,000, but in his initial days, he was once paid only Rs 5001 for the film Deedar by producer Pramod Chakravorty.

Akshay did many films, some turned out to be a massive hit, while others didn’t meet expectations. However, one film that rose him to fame was Saugandh. It was released in the year 1991 and gained him a lot of attention and love from the audience. According to Akshay himself, his success is 70% luck and 30% hard work—a rare humility in today’s world of self-praise.

In his 33-year-long career trajectory, Akshay has not only built a massive fan base but also an empire. According to reports, the star who was once paid only Rs. 5001 for a film, now charges Rs. 90 crores per film. In fact, for his blockbuster films like Kesari Chapter 2, he has allegedly charged Rs 145 crores. Based on his massive fan base, filmmakers want to work with him.

As per a Forbes report, Akshay Kumar’s net worth today is approximately Rs. 2700 crores. What’s even more impressive is that Akshay is a self-made actor who ventured into this industry without taking help from any godfather. His journey speaks of determination, hard work, and persistence.
