by · India Today

During his session titled Breakthroughs and Breakdowns at the India Today Conclave 2026, Akshay Kumar spoke about his approach towards paparazzi and why he does not mind posing for pictures with them. The actor said that he understands that the photos help them earn a living.

"If I have just stepped out of the airport and my wife or my children are with me, I don't mind posing for them. A photographer earns around Rs 3,500 to Rs 4,000 for a photo of either me or with my wife. If he is getting that, why should I have a problem standing there and letting him take the picture? That photo helps him run his home. He feels happy," akshay said. 

The actor will next be seen in Bhooth Bangla. Directed by Priyadasrhan, the film will release in theatres on April 10.
