‘Inki wajah se mera career hai’: Akshay Kumar pays tribute to stuntmen in The Great India Kapil Show finale
Akshay Kumar captivated audiences in The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 finale on Netflix, honouring stuntmen for their vital role in his career.
Actor Akshay Kumar brought action, emotion, and laughs to The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 finale, which dropped on Netflix this Saturday, coinciding with the release of his film Jolly LLB 3 on September 19.
Akshay paid tribute to his stuntmen in Kapil's show
In a heartfelt tribute, Akshay credited his long-standing success to the stuntmen who’ve stood by him throughout his career. The actor shared the stage with multiple stunt performers. “Mere liye asli heroes yeh hain. Inki wajah se mera career hai (These are the real heroes for me. I have a career because of them)," he said, saluting their courage and contribution.
The stuntmen then revealed that Akshay has been quietly supporting their welfare for years. They shared that the actor personally pays life insurance premiums for every member of the stuntmen’s union.
While emotions ran high, the episode didn’t skimp on comedy. Kapil Sharma teased Akshay for being late, despite his reputation for punctuality. Akshay fired back with a grin: “Arre, mujhe pehle paise nahi mile (I didn’t get paid yet)."
The friendly roast continued as Kapil joked about Akshay’s massive filmography, asking if it was a result of talent or necessity. Akshay playfully clapped back: “Tere show ke teen seasons Netflix pe chale, do filmein aayi, aur ab cafe bhi khol liya... tu bata talent zyada hai ya zarooratein (Your show’s had three seasons, two films, and now you’ve opened a cafe, you tell me, is it talent or need)?"
The finale also featured fan-favourite acts with Kiku Sharda donning the iconic Baburao avatar from Hera Pheri and Krushna Abhishek impersonating Suniel Shetty, adding to the laughter-filled send-off.
