Akshay Completes Funeral Rites, Rushes To Groove '

Akshay Kumar proved that he's an ace professional, beyond a shadow of doubt. The actor lost his maternal grandmother recently, whom he was very close to. But unlike other stars who would have hastened to cancel the day's appointments, AK stuck to his day's commitments.

Akshay fulfilled his duties at the funeral and thereafter completed the last leg of dubbing for 'Tees Maar Khan'; after which he showed up at a beach in suburban Mumbai for a promotional song event for 'TMK'.

States a close source, "Akshay went with his grandmother's ashes to Nashik and then headed straight for the rehearsals of a song sequence that he had to perform at an awards nite. After that he headed for his 'TMK' dubbing, completd it, wore a helmet and went straight to Juhu beach for the song event of 'TMK'. Incidentally, he wore a helmet and rode on his bike all the way to the music event because he didn't want to get caught in a traffic jam. Akshay did all that he was supposed to, but he broke down inconsolably at the prayer meeting that was held later in memory of his 'nani'."

A stunned Farah Khan states in a media quote, "What shocked me was that Akshay came at all in the first place. Akshay was very close to his 'nani' who lived with them and I didn't expect him to come at all. Most stars come up with the most weirdest excuses to cancel shoots. Akshay had a very valid reason to cancel the day's commitments, but he did not."

Reveals a close Akshay pal, "Akshay has always adhered to his father's words that 'No matter what, the show must go on!'. That's what he's always done and will continue to do."
