Akshay Kumar recalls shooting days of Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi

During an interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia on his podcast, The Ranveer Show, Akshay Kumar recalled how he broke his back after lifting The Undertaker in Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi(1996).

Recalling the incident, Akshay shared, “Mujhe bhi yaad hai (the film) aur meri peeth ko bhi yaad hai… Toot gayi thi usko (The Undertaker) uthaya tha (I vividly remember the experience, as does my back. I suffered a broken back after lifting The Undertaker). I lifted him, I was mad. He was somewhere around 425 pounds or something and we went ahead and I decided ki, ‘okay utha loonga‘ (I will lift him). 

Even though he suffered a serious injury, the actor proved why he is one of the best by maintaining a positive attitude. He further shared, “Kar toh liya, sab kuch ho gaya. Teen din baad, ‘khadak’ kuch bol gaya. Then I had a slipped disc… Abhi bahot behtareen hai (Everything worked out, but my back eventually gave out)."
