Akshay Kumar: I live a simple and easy life

Known for a fit and healthy lifestyle, Akshay Kumar is one actor who receives praises in abundance for being one of the most disciplined. The actor who is in his 50s manages to pass off as not only young but also fit, and the secret to his fitness is that he lives a rather simple, easy and a happy life.

"I have only one job in my life, and that's to do films. Then, I take care of my family and work out. There's no stress, and I don't take too much stress. I concentrate on happiness and I exercise, take care of what I eat, and I control my intake of sweets. There's no science behind it. Live a simple, easy life," said the actor during a recent interaction with the media for his upcoming film 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha'.

Akshay further added, "When I used to stay in Chandni Chowk, we used to have a one bedroom house and around 22 people used to stay in it. But we used to feel happy in it. We have continued living with that happiness."

Further talking about the film resonating PM Narendra Modi's 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan', Akshay continued, "I have made the film because I liked the script and not because anyone asked me to make this film. It's a different thing that when our PM came to office, he started spreading the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan message. This film is similar to his Abhiyaan and takes forward the Clean India message."

"But in general, Clean India is not a topic that he started... It's a topic relevant to each one of us... We have to keep our surroundings clean because it is directly related to us and our health. It's wrong if people think it's a village-based problem. Even cities have a lot to do with this problem," said Akshay as he signed off.
