Suniel Shetty on Akshay Kumar : ‘Fans are not that dumb.’
In a candid reflection on his career and contemporaries, Suniel Shetty addressed the notion of a ‘rivalry’ with Akshay Kumar during the 90s. While both actors were often compared due to their similar action-hero personas, Shetty dismissed the idea of any real rivalry, stating that fans were not naive enough to pit them against each other.
He expressed admiration for Akshay‘s success and consistency, attributing his own career fluctuations to mistakes and a lack of planning. Despite this, Shetty remains proud of his journey and cherishes his friendship with Akshay.
Suniel Shetty also emphasized the mutual respect shared among his peers from the 90s era, particularly with Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn. He noted that while their careers soared, his trajectory was different due to his choices and lack of career planning.
Despite the ups and downs, Shetty remains content, acknowledging the growth and success of his friends. He believes that their camaraderie and the way fans have supported each of them demonstrate a deeper understanding beyond the idea of competition.
