Akshay Kumar recalls he was asked to dance as a child every time a relative came over: ‘Humara kyu mujra karvate hain?’
Akshay Kumar shared an anecdote from his childhood where his father would ask him to dance every time a relative would come over.
Akshay Kumar recalled an anecdote from his childhood during a recent episode of The Icons. Akshay Kumar has been in the movies for over 30 years but he had a keen interest in performing arts from a very young age. During a recent episode of Twinkle Khanna’s YouTube show The Icons, Akshay shared that even as a young child, his father would ask him to perform for every guest that came to their house. Popular comic actor Johnny Lever was a guest on Twinkle’s show and the actors were discussing how people expect them to perform at all times.
Johnny shared that once he was quite hassled at the airport because there was some confusion with his ticket but a random passerby came up to him and told him to laugh because that’s what is expected out of him. “They think we are always funny. Like we have a button and if you press than button, we’ll start,” Johnny shared.
Akshay Kumar recalled an anecdote from his childhood and said that when he was 5-6 years old, his father would ask him to perform for every relative that came to their house. “This has happened from my childhood. When I was little, around 5-6 years old, whenever any relative would come, my father would say ‘Beta, break dance karke dikha’ (Son, show them your break dance).” Akshay mimicked some moves he would show as a child and broke into a laughter.
He added, “Meri samajh mein nahi aata hai ki ghar pe koi rishtedar aata hai toh humara mujra kyu karvate hain? (I don’t understand that why do we have to turn into performers when a relative comes over.)
Later, Johnny Lever recalled another anecdote where he went to someone’s funeral and the person who had lost their loved one was confused as to if he should be laughing or crying because he was expecting Johnny to be funny.
