Wheels Of Fortune: Akshay Kumar talks about the power of an officer's uniform; says 'Spine seedhi ho jaati hai'
Akshay Kumar, who returned to television with a new quiz show, Wheel Of Fortune, has been entertaining fans with his fun interaction with contestants and the audiences. The actor is known for sharing many interesting anecdotes from his life.
In a recent interaction on the quiz reality show, Akshay Kumar captivated the audience with a deeply moving reflection on his experience of portraying men in uniform.
Akshay spoke about the emotional and psychological transformation that comes after wearing an officer's uniform.
Speaking about the sense of discipline and pride it instills, the Bollywood superstar shared, "One thing I would definitely like to say—when a person wears a uniform, it automatically brings a certain confidence and strength in their posture. I don’t know what it is, but wearing a suit doesn’t give you that same feeling. Lekin jab aap uniform pehente ho, reedh ki haddi mein pata nahi kahan se woh josh aata hai… tadak kar ke seedhi ho jaati hai.”
Drawing a comparison with his on-screen portrayal, Akshay added that even donning a costume uniform for a role brings about a noticeable shift in posture and mindset.
"Jaise main Rustom film ke andar khada tha… mujhe nahi lagta main hamesha aisa khada ho sakta hoon. Woh nakli uniform thi, lekin uniform ki baat hi alag hoti hai.”
Looking back at one of his finest movies, Akshay fondly recalled a powerful line from his film Rustom, a performance that also earned him a National Film Award for Best Actor.
Sharing the dialogue with conviction, he said, "Ek line mujhe abhi bhi yaad hai… meri uniform meri aadat hai, jaise saans lena. Apne desh ki raksha karna, yeh jhijhak ke bina, nishwarth apna farz nibhana… mujhe abhi bhi saari lines yaad hain.”
Talking about Rustom, the movie that released in 2016, saw Akshay essaying the role of a naval officer.
The movie also starred Ileana D'Cruz and Esha Gupta in the leads.
