Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has built a reputation for discipline and professionalism over the years, but a recent revelation from his “Welcome To The Jungle” co-star has once again highlighted the actor’s unwavering commitment to his craft. According to Bhojpuri actress Akshara Singh, Akshay continued filming the energetic song ‘Ghis Ghis Ghis’ despite having a fever that reportedly touched 103-104 degrees Fahrenheit.
The revelation has surprised fans, especially because the song is packed with high-energy dance moves and vibrant performances. Akshara Singh, who shares screen space with Akshay in the track, recalled being amazed by the actor’s determination. She revealed that despite feeling unwell, there was no visible drop in his enthusiasm on set. Instead of complaining or slowing down the shoot, Akshay remained focused on delivering his performance and ensuring everything went according to plan.
What impressed Akshara even more was Akshay’s humility throughout the filming process. Since Ghis Ghis Ghis is heavily influenced by Bhojpuri culture and language, the Bollywood star reportedly sought her help repeatedly to perfect his pronunciation and understand the meaning behind various lines. Rather than relying solely on rehearsals, he wanted to ensure authenticity in his performance, reflecting his respect for regional cinema and its audience.
Akshara also shared another memorable incident from the shoot. She revealed that when discussions arose regarding her costume, Akshay stepped in and supported her comfort and creative choice. The actress recalled being touched by his gesture, describing it as an example of the respect he shows toward fellow performers regardless of their background or industry.
The song itself has become one of the most talked-about tracks from Welcome To The Jungle. Featuring a unique blend of Bollywood glamour and Bhojpuri flavor, Ghis Ghis Ghis has generated significant buzz online and has been widely appreciated by fans. The collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Akshara Singh has also been viewed as a major moment for Bhojpuri representation in mainstream Hindi cinema.
Interestingly, reports suggest that Akshay plays a Bhojpuri film star in the movie, making the song an important part of the film’s narrative and promotional campaign. His willingness to embrace the language and culture has earned praise from both audiences and industry insiders.
Stories of actors pushing through illness are not uncommon in cinema, but Akshay Kumar’s latest example reinforces why he remains one of Bollywood’s most respected professionals. For fans, the revelation is yet another reminder that behind the glamour lies a performer willing to go the extra mile—even when running a 104-degree fever.
