However, his recent on-screen collaboration with former Miss World Manushi Chillar in the upcoming film “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” has sparked controversy among netizens.
In the promotional activities for the film, including the release of the song “Wallah Habibi,” featuring Akshay Kumar alongside Manushi Chillar, the duo’s chemistry has captured attention.
Despite their captivating performances, a segment of the audience has expressed disapproval over the significant age gap between the two actors.
Netizens have taken to various social media platforms to voice their criticism, deeming Akshay Kumar’s romantic pairing with Manushi Chillar inappropriate due to the considerable age difference.
Many have ridiculed the portrayal, likening Kumar’s role to that of a paternal figure rather than a romantic partner.
