Akshay Kumar
During the 1990s, Akki was primarily described as the action hero of Bollywood. In 2002, he won his first Filmfare Award in the Best Villain category, for his performance in Ajnabee (2001). Willing to change his intransigent image, he later ventured mostly into comedy films. In 2009, he was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India.
