Trust Akshay Kumar for pulling off the most daring of stunts. However, things went terribly wrong when Akshay was shooting for Singh is Bliing and was supposed to jump through a ring of fire. A heart-stopping video documents what happened next and how the superstar survived.
The accident took place when Kumar was shooting for the film directed by Prabhudeva, where he plays a daredevil Sikh who loves to flaunt his combat skills. The Khiladi as usual insisted on doing his stunt scenes himself.
