Akshay Kumar prefers to be 'versatility' over 'stardom'

Akshay Kumar, who has been the 'Khiladi' of Bollywood for years now, has said that he is happy being "versatile" than being the "biggest actor."

In an interview with a webloid, the 48-year-old actor said, "at least, I will not be accused of being boring. I shift genres, I change characters. I did Airlift, now Housefull 3, and next is Rustom," reports the Express Tribune.

The 'Housefull 3' actor added that he finds himself to be more than "just a two-sided coin."

I am not just about serious or funny parts. I like taking up a variety of roles and characters, I'll do everything and anything," he said.

Despite his success, fan following and star status, Akshay prefers remaining modest about his position in the industry as, according to him, "stardom hasn't gotten to my head."

When I achieve success, I see my children, my wife and my mother happy, and instinctively, I am filled with gratitude. Thinking about failure makes me want to wake up and take care of my body and everything I have got," he said.
