Akki refuses to play quiz host

Once the reigning ‘King of Bollywood’, Akshay Kumar’s recent debacles at the Box Office may have dethroned him of the coveted title, but that hardly seems to stop him from making kingly demands.

The highly paid actor Akshay Kumar has joined the ever-increasing list of actors who have refused to offer any price respite in the tough time of recession.

Then if it means turning down plum offers, Akshay seems to be having no second thoughts. Akki who has reportedly charged a throbbing price for hosting ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ (Season 2), has turned down an offer from prominent TV channel over money matters.

Top news is that Akshay Kumar was approached to play host for a quiz show. But the actor politely refused the show citing the issue of date problems. However, going by his recent series of duds at the Box Office, if there is one thing that Akshay has in plenty is dates.
