No, our Akki baba is not all about action and beating 20 men single-handedly. With a twinkle in his eyes, Akhshay is much more than all this. Lara Dutta was the first one to be charmed by Akshay's heroism, when he saved her from drowning while shooting for Andaaz. The latest damsel in distress, to have the knightly Akshay spring to her rescue, is none other than Aishwarya Rai.
Rai has said that she is forever indebted to Akshay for the way he lifted her from the thorny bush and carried her to the hospital, following the freak mishap on the sets of Raj Kumar Santoshi's Khakee. Though the actress kept pestering him for details of the injuries she had sustained, on the way to the hospital, Akshay kept his cool and refused to divulge anything, engaging her in some other conversation.
