The country has seen Akshay Kumar’s struggles. The actor who hailed from a middle-class family is now one of the biggest superstars in the country.

Akshay Kumar reveals why he plans to buy his childhood home
Kumar studied at Don Bosco Public School and while talking about the same to Ranveer Allahabadia on his podcast, the actor said in Hindi, “I don't understand the psychology behind it but I just feel happy to go there (school). I like revisiting my old house. We used to pay ₹500 for our rented house. I came to know that the building is being renovated. I have told them that I want to buy the third floor. We used to live there. A two-bedroom flat is under construction right now. So, I said to them that I am interested in buying it.”
Akshay says he wants to be in touch with his roots
Revealing that he doesn’t have anybody there now, Akshay confessed, “I just want to keep that flat. I still remember me and my sister waiting for Daddy to return when he used to do a 9-6 job. So, the visual is still there. There was a Guava tree and we used to pluck the fruits. I still go there every month and bring some guavas and flowers. I honestly want to be in touch with that. That is where I come from.”
Akshay didn’t have a hopeful last few years. He has been facing double the flops of his hits. After 8 back-to-back flops, Kumar saw one hit last year with OMG 2. Interestingly, the box office numbers don't seem to scare him. Kumar in his kitty next has several films lined up.
