Bollywood’s Khiladi, Akshay Kumar, is making headlines, but not for the reasons you’d expect. Just as he was gearing up for the glitziest wedding of the year – Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s big day, Akshay had to hit pause. Why? The superstar has tested positive for COVID-19. Talk about a plot twist!
Promotions Turn Sour for Akshay Kumar
During the whirlwind promotions of his latest flick Sarfira, Akshay started feeling under the weather. With some team members already testing positive, he decided to play it safe and got himself checked. And bam! The test came back positive on Friday morning, according to a report by Hindustan Times.
A close source from the production house shared with HT City, “Akshay Kumar had been promoting his latest release Sarfira when he felt unwell, and decided to get tested after being told that some crew members of his promotions team had tested positive for COVID. The actor tested positive on Friday morning and would end up missing the last leg of promotions, as well as Anant Ambani’s wedding for which Anant had personally gone to invite him. It’s disappointing but the responsible guy that Akshay is, he has immediately isolated himself.”
Missing the Big Fat Indian Wedding
It’s no secret that the Ambani-Merchant wedding is the event of the season, if not the century. Akshay’s absence is definitely going to be felt. The star was looking forward to celebrating with the who’s who of Bollywood and beyond. But, health comes first, right?
Akshay’s Love for Sarfira
Despite the setback, Akshay took to Instagram to share his excitement about Sarfira.
Sarfira, which dropped today, July 12, 2024, follows the inspiring journey of a man determined to create affordable airlines for low-income people. It’s the Hindi remake of Suriya’s blockbuster Soorarai Pottru and stars the talented Radhika Madan in a pivotal role.
So, while Akshay Kumar might be missing out on the wedding of the year, his latest film is here to keep his fans entertained. Here’s wishing the superstar a speedy recovery and hoping Sarfira soars high at the box office!
