When Akshay Kumar left mid-dinner with guests waiting till 11 PM, recalls Vivek Oberoi: ‘We thought he was just going to…’

As a die-hard fan of Bollywood, I’ve had the pleasure (and sometimes, the shock) of witnessing some extraordinary tales behind the scenes. Among them all, the stories about Akshay Kumar‘s dedication to fitness and discipline stand out like a beacon in the dark. I mean, who invites friends over for dinner and then disappears without a trace at 9:30 PM? Akki, that’s who!


Multiple actors have commended Akshay Kumar’s commitment to fitness and self-discipline, with Vivek Oberoi recently narrating an instance where he observed Akshay’s rigorous exercise routine. In a recent chat, Vivek disclosed that their co-star from Heyy Babyy once invited them for dinner but abruptly left them halfway through the meal to sleep. Vivek reminisced about this moment, saying he assumed Akshay was heading to the restroom, but he never returned.

During an interview with Entertainment Live, The Saathiya actor told a funny story about Akshay Kumar’s punctuality during a dinner at his house. He mentioned that while he and Riteish Deshmukh were having their meal, Akshay stood up when the clock hit 9:30 pm. Initially, they thought he had gone to use the restroom, but were surprised when he didn’t return. They continued waiting for him until 11 pm, only for Twinkle Khanna, his wife, to inform them that Akshay had already gone to bed!

Additionally, Oberoi brought up a memory where he exercised alongside Akshay Kumar. Vivek shared that Akshay, known for his generosity, extended an invitation for them to workout together one day. Upon asking about the specific time, Akshay mentioned 4:30, which led him to believe it was in the evening. However, The Sarfira actor made it clear that it actually meant 4:30 in the morning.

Vivek consented and accompanied him for the workout, during which Akshay had arranged apparatus such as monkey bars and demonstrated feats like jumps, climbs, flips, and even encouraged Vivek to scale a coconut tree. Impressed by Akshay’s dedication to fitness, Vivek referred to him as exceptionally focused on physical wellness and deeply inspiring.

Currently, professionally speaking, Kumar is involved in a number of exciting upcoming films. Some of these include “Singham Again” with Ajay Devgn, as well as “Kareena Kapoor Khan”, “Deepika Padukone”, “Ranveer Singh”, “Arjun Kapoor”, “Tiger Shroff”, and “Jackie Shroff”. He also has “Sky Force”, “Jolly LLB 3” featuring Arshad Warsi and Huma Qureshi, “Welcome To The Jungle”, “Shankara”, “Bhooth Bangla”, and “Hera Pheri 3” in the works.

Previously, Oberoi made an appearance in Rohit Shetty’s series titled “Indian Police Force,” alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Shilpa Shetty.
