Начало пути
Акшай Кумар – это псевдоним Раджива Хари-Ом Бхатия, индийского актера и кинопродюсера, родившегося 7 сентября 1967 года. Своим появлением будущая звезда порадовала обычную незаурядную индийскую семью со средним достатком, проживающую в городке Амритсар (Пейнджаб). Кумар закончил обычную школу (Дон Боско) без какого-либо уклона, а в отрочестве поступил в колледж Халса. Уже в это время он активно занимался спортом и приобщал к нему своих друзей. Именно это стало решающим шагом при выборе будущей профессии: после окончания колледжа Акшай Кумар на протяжении долгих лет преподавал боевые искусства в Мумбаи. Среди его студентов был молодой талантливый фотограф, который увидел в своем преподавателе изюминку, и предложил Кумару подрабатывать в качестве фотомодели. Так нашел свое второе призвание Акшай Кумар: клипы и рекламные ролики с его участием заинтересовали не только обычных зрителей, но и некоторых продюсеров.
