A video by senior reporter Nasim Khan has set social media ablaze, and with good reason—it exposes the sheer arrogance and disregard of Akshay Kumar’s PR machinery. On the actor’s birthday, no less, journalists were personally summoned to a five-star hotel in Mumbai for what was touted as a “friendly interaction.” Instead of warmth or respect, the press found themselves abandoned, waiting endlessly from 2 p.m. to past 4:30 p.m. The irony? The star whose on-screen persona thrives on discipline and professionalism is fronted by a team that practices the dead opposite.
 
Journalist Mohammad Naseem Tanvir Ali Khan nailed it with his blunt caption: “Shameful… absolutely unprofessional.” And he’s right. Inviting the media under the guise of celebration, only to make them sit like unwelcome extras in a badly produced show, is nothing short of deliberate humiliation. This isn’t a scheduling error—it’s an insult wrapped in PR packaging.
 
Let’s not sugarcoat it: this is not a one-off mistake. Akshay Kumar’s PR team has a track record of pulling such stunts, routinely keeping journalists waiting, dangling access like bait, and then vanishing into thin air. Until now, the press may have swallowed its pride for the sake of keeping relations smooth. This time, however, the patience has snapped. The media has decided to air the dirty laundry—and the stink is unmistakable.
 
What makes this worse is the jarring contradiction between Akshay’s carefully cultivated public image and the contempt shown by his handlers. This is the same actor known for fitness, punctuality, and discipline—qualities he proudly lectures about. Yet his PR team treats the media, the very people who amplify his voice, with casual disdain. The hypocrisy would almost be funny if it weren’t so brazen.
 
This fiasco is not just about a late appearance—it’s about respect. Bollywood celebrities may thrive on star power, but without the media’s lens, that shine dims quickly. Shoving reporters into a waiting room for hours on end is more than unprofessional; it’s a reminder of how entitled and tone-deaf some star entourages have become. Akshay Kumar may not have personally orchestrated this, but silence will only make him complicit. The ball is in his court: either rein in the arrogance of this PR circus, or watch as the so-called "Khiladi" image unravels under the weight of his own team’s negligence.
