When you have to name self made actors in the industry, one can’t miss Akshay Kumar. Rajiv Bhatia, a common lad who made it big as Superstar Akshay Kumar is an unmissable character when you list down those who made it big in Bollywood, without any family backup. A very modest Akshay, attributes it all to greed and tells us how he still loves travelling in first class and private jets.

He told Koimoi, “I am hungry to work. I am hungry to get up in the morning and go for shoots and mostly I am hungry to travel in first class. If I have to travel at night, I work this day the maximum. To the hilt. So that I am so tired, that I relish the feeling of sleeping 34,000 up in air. My greed has not gone. I had never seen a plane for years. I don’t want that greed to go. I know my son doesn’t have the same greed. I wish I could put it in them but unfortunately they are lucky, they have it.”

It is Kumar’s eagerness to work that allows him the zest to do 4 films a year. And yet, he maintains a balance between his film never doing it just for the money of it, but more for the love of the characters. He points out, “While I do an Airlift, A Gabbar and A Baby, I also have a Singh is Bling too in my upcoming films. I believe in maintaining the balance of characters.”
