In this episode of 'Sajid's Superstars' Akshay Kumar has revealed that one comment made him strive to do better in life.

Talking about his first break Akki has reportedly said, "I remember I was chosen to go to Bangalore to do an ad. I was told to come to the airport at 5:30 and was signed for Rs. 11, 000, which at that time was a big amount. It was an opportunity of a lifetime for me. I was very excited and raved about it front of my parents and sister as well."

But things weren't rosy for long.

He adds, "Suddenly early morning next day, I got a call asking, 'kahan hai tu bewakoof... we are all waiting at the airport. Where are you?'

Actually, there was some confusion. They told me to report at the airport at 5:30 in the morning and I misunderstood it. I thought I had to reach there in the evening. They told me that people like me who are so unprofessional in life can never make it big. I cried a lot, all my dreams were shattered."

He was sad but the taunt has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After all, Akki has survived in B-Town for almost 17 years and now is King Kumar too! This lad sure has come up the hard way!
