Akshay Kumar is compared to Leonardo DiCaprio – quite shocking hah! While DiCaprio is snatching awards for The Revenant in Hollywood, Airlift in Bollywood also raised high standards for Akshay Kumar to grab a couple of awards this season. Sweeping all awards even the prestigious BAFTA for his remarkable performance in The Revenant, DiCaprio has just proved that slow but steady wins the race. Many of you are raising your eyes as how on earth the duo can be compared but these ten reasons can make you think for a while to consider their awesome resemblance throughout their career path.
1. Of course Their Long Names
Have you ever noticed their real names? DiCaprio as Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio and Akshay Kumar as Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia. Quite shocking!
2. The Struggle
They experienced a fair share of struggle before achieving their success in the chosen path of acting. While DiCaprio smells the success with Titanic, Akshay got his recognition with Mohra.
3. Choice Of Different Genre
If you can recall their choices of films, you will certainly understand. While Leo exposed us his different side in the films like ‘Blue Diamond’ and ‘Inception’, Akshay has amazed us in some sombre films like ‘Baby’ and recently in ‘Airlift’.
4. The Famous Affairs
Though Akshay Kumar is happily married and has two wonderful children with Twinkle Khanna, he was a Dude in his good old days and so as Leo. Akshay enticed women like Ravina Tandon, Puja Batra to Priyanka Chopra while Leo is still famous in the media for his extensive affairs from Gisele Bündchen to Toni Garrn.
5. Awaited Nominations
With all the hard work and ample times of nomination, Leo gets his desired appreciation from ‘The aviator’ and ‘The Departed’, where Akshay started collecting awards from ‘Ajnabee’ and ‘Garam Masala’
6. The Perfect Lover Boy
Yes, they are the perfect boy next door who allure the girls with their suave charm and perfect gesture. Be the Arjun from ‘Namastay Landon’ or Jack Dawson from ‘Titanic’, they force the female parade to go gaga over their charm and ever charismatic appeal.
7. Philanthropic Activities
Being so down to earth, they both help the society and donate a generous amount of their earning to the charities and various organisations supporting different causes.
