Im so proud to be an Akshay fan, in the 90's and part of the 2000's - Akshay was always overshadowed by SRK's over the top and exaggerated fandom.
While SRK was hamming and doing the same acting in every movie while purchasing all the fake acting awards .....Akshay was giving me life in movies like Aankhen, Ajnabee, Khakee...and he was good in many other films as well. The variety in his work was astounding.
Even today...for every Houseful you get a Kesari...and for every Good News there will be a Sooryavanchi. The way he pulls all of this off is both respectable and inspiring.
Yes SRK might've been more popular, but today his stardom and brand is OVER. He has nothing to do. Akshay was the snail and the slow and steady always win the race. SRK can never rise again. The moment is over and he will now always be a has-been
