New Delhi: One of the richest Bollywood stars and busy as a bee Akshay Kumar is in a pause mode, much like his industry peers who are confined to their homes during the coronavirus lockdown.

He is of course doing his bit from home by being a socially conscious citizen and contributing to the Government’s effort against the pandemic.

During lockdown, the workaholic has got a lot of time on his hand and admits that he is on the path of self discovery and loving it. In a chat with RJ Anmol, he talks in detail about his life in lockdown.

FEEL STRONGER AND EMPOWERED

“The last thirty years went too fast. I did not get the time to sit back and introspect. Work, family, life kept me busy. However, this lockdown has given me so much time that I could never get earlier. I used this opportunity to think and feel about so many issues, that I needed clarity on. I am finding so many facets of “myself”. I strongly feel that this process of self-discovery should be undertaken by every individual to awaken various levels of consciousness. As an individual, I am feeling much stronger, connected, and empowered.”

FAMILY TIME: GARDENING WITH WIFE, PLAYING WITH TOY CAR

On the family front, Akshay has picked up gardening as a hobby and is growing veggies in his garden along with other family members.

“We are growing Spinach and Potatoes. My wife jokes that in case things turn worse, we will at least have ‘Aloo Saag’ to eat. By now, I have visited every corner of my house, sat on every sofa, chair, and window sill and even have played with the toy car of my seven-year-old daughter” he exclaims.

MESSAGE FOR FANS IN TIMES OF CORONA

Akshay also has an advice for his fans. The actors urges all to priortise their health as it will lessen their chance to get infected.

“I would request all my countrymen to pay special attention to their health. Health is the most important thing, if you lose good health now, it will be very difficult to get back to your fitter-self afterward. Also, for the virus, it is difficult to infect people with strong immunity, focus on building your immunity,” said the actor.
