Akshay Kumar is once again making headlines, but this time not for a film release. During a recent episode of the quiz-based reality show Wheel of Fortune on Sony Entertainment Television, a contestant shared a lesser-known aspect of the actor’s philanthropic efforts, leaving both the audience and viewers pleasantly surprised.
The contestant, Vispy, spoke about his personal connection to martial arts and credited Akshay Kumar for supporting several aspiring students in the field. Addressing the actor on the show, he said, “Sir, main aapka student hoon saalo se. Main yeh kehna chahta hoon ki Akshay Sir kaafi eligible students ko select karte hain aur unko training ke liye apne khud ke paison se Thailand bhejte hain. International competitions ke liye bhi woh financially help karte hain (I have been your student for years. I want to say that Akshay Sir selects many deserving students and sends them to Thailand for training using his own money. He also provides financial support for international competitions).”
Vispy went on to express his gratitude to the actor for his contributions to martial arts, particularly Kudo, highlighting how such initiatives help nurture talent that may otherwise lack access to global platforms. He further added an inspiring message about discipline and learning, saying, “Main sirf yeh kehna chahta hoon ki self-discipline is one of the greatest things to do. Martial arts seekhne ke liye koi age nahi chahiye (I just want to say that self-discipline is one of the greatest things to follow. There is no age limit to learning martial arts).”
This revelation is not an isolated instance. In the past as well, Akshay Kumar’s charitable work has been acknowledged publicly. Previously, senior journalist Sonal Kalra, who had appeared as a contestant on the same show, had spoken about the actor’s contributions towards relief work and charitable causes.
Known for his disciplined lifestyle and strong association with fitness and martial arts, Akshay Kumar has often encouraged young individuals to pursue physical training and self-improvement. However, stories like these shed light on his efforts beyond public appearances—where he quietly extends financial and moral support to budding talents.
While the actor has rarely spoken about such initiatives himself, these firsthand accounts continue to highlight a consistent pattern of giving back to the community. As more such stories come to light, they reinforce the image of Akshay Kumar not just as a superstar, but also as someone deeply committed to supporting and empowering the next generation.
