On Aap Ki Adalat, while promoting Jolly LLB, Akshay Kumar was asked what he thought about Mahesh Bhatt once saying he’s good at action – but isn’t a good actor. Akshay said he agreed with the statement, and added that “if you judge my acting skills by the awards that I’ve won, then I’m not a good actor.”
He further insinuated that award shows are a sham, revealing that many times he’s been offered an award to perform at half price:
Organisers have asked me to perform at award nights. They said that they would pay me half the price and they would also give me an award. I replied saying – ‘You pay me the whole amount and keep your award.’”
Sounds like a good call!
