According to a report in Hindustan Times, many B-Town stars turned up at the Bachchan's residence to participate in Diwali festivities and no party is complete without a game of cards. And all of them seemed scared to play with Akshay. Apparently, Akshay had mastered the art when he was working as a waiter in Bangkok.
Further to reports in Hindustan Times, while Akki was having a tough time trying to get a table to play at, he convinced Ranbir Kapoor to join him. An insider says that Ranbir had heard of Akshay's mastery and that he was a dangerous player so the Kapoor scion refrained.
