Be a Joke!!!

Hey everyone…

What an eventful week it’s been…
Being a man of many physical talents, by god I met my match this week; I have never fallen on my ass so many times in one day I swear… You know at the back of my mind I’ve always wondered what is going to be ‘that’ thing in life I’m gonna find unbelievably difficult??… Ha Ha, I’ve found it… Coz I’ve always used my determination, talent, and hard work to get me through everything. Well on this particular stunt all I needed was the perfect technique and tons of luck… Well have a guess; I had neither of those on my side this week… So what is it that Akshay Kumar found so hilariously hard to do?? Ladies and Gentlemen it was Water Skiing…
Yes, there’s me standing on my board, never done it before in my life, my director Priyadarshan has given me half an hour to practice and then expecting me to give a shot of a life time… Well surprise surprise, water skiing ain’t that easy, it looks so graceful and easy and killer cool to do, you know, anyone could do it. Well I’m sorry, I was so so wrong, it’s ridiculously harder than it looks and so much funnier. I jumped on my board ready to fly off and maybe even produce some somersaults off the ramps, but HELL NO… I fell off that thing quicker than anyone could say ‘Singh is Kinng,’ It was more like Singh the belly flop king…
When my head came out of water I had to force myself to stop laughing and get back on the board before Priyanji saw his hero’s face down and bum up in the water ;o)
So back up I go, needless to say it took a few more times than first expected to nail this thing, but by lunch not only had I cracked it, I was carrying the incredibly beautiful and brave Katrina Kaif on my back whilst whizzing round on this thing like it was second nature. And that’s when you know you’re a good actor, when you’re made to do something that technically scares the crap out of you but you smile for the shot and make everyone think AHH they’re so in love, then the minute you hit the water at mega speed there’s no smile, just a battered body that’s praying for the shot to be OK’d so you can brush yourself down and appreciate dry land again. So I must say hats off to Katrina, she did extremely well, not many heroines I know would have tried and succeeded as much as Kat did, well done girl…
As you can tell I’m still shooting in Singapore for De Dana Dan, the Famous
Priyadarshan is the fastest film Director on the planet. The man doesn’t believe in taking your time, he’s a ‘Wham Bam Thank You Mam, next shot please’ kind of guy. We’re in the last week till pack up, and then back to my beloved Bombay… I haven’t been there since my very tame Unbuttoned Lakme Fashion Show ;o) so fans wish me luck!!!
Hey did anyone see “X-Men Origins Wolverine”? Amazing movie, haven’t seen that kind of cinema since Batman the Dark Knight… Hugh Jackman is definitely one of the most multitalented actors I’ve ever seen. Did you see him hosting the Oscars? I’ve never known a Hollywood actor apart from Will Smith that could sing/ dance/ joke/ be merry/ with the nut cracking sarcasm of a gentleman. He really does deserve the best actor; I can’t help but respect him…
Well young ones, until my next adventure, take care and “only laugh at others when you can totally laugh at yourself” That’s all I can say…

Love and Prayers
Your Akshay; o)
