Discipline has always played an important role in Akshay Kumar's life, and he recently stressed its significance. When asked about the lack of discipline, early mornings, and late arrivals on sets that other movie stars regularly exhibit, the actor humorously stated that he doesn't want to be a "star" who comes out at night. He likes to compare himself to the early rising sun. Akshay continued by pointing to Sania Mirza as an example of someone who has succeeded by sticking to a regimen and never giving up. He complained that reporters would probe him about his early bedtime routine, but the proper inquiry would be to find out why other people slumber so late.

Akshay Kumar's views on late-night stars

In the course of the interview at the Republic Plenary Summit, the host inquired of Akshay regarding his personal habits, particularly in relation to the tendency of other film stars to awaken in the afternoon, arrive tardily for filming, and face challenges with self-discipline. The actor replied by emphasizing that achieving stardom is not his primary aspiration in life. He likened himself to the sun, suggesting that while stars shine at night, he prefers not to be in the spotlight.

Akshay emphasized that discipline is essential for achieving success, citing Mirza as a prime example of an exceptional athlete. He acknowledged her remarkable contributions to the nation and highlighted her insights on the importance of self-control. When asked about her journey and whether self-control posed a challenge, Akshay asserted that such a scenario is implausible. He noted that she required self-discipline, as it was not feasible for her to indulge in late mornings and spend all day playing tennis. The significance of discipline cannot be overstated.

Akshay Kumar on changing habits over time

Akshay elaborated that during his formative years, all students arrived at school on time. However, he struggles to understand the rationale behind the inevitability of change that accompanies human growth. Furthermore, he expressed his annoyance at the constant inquiries regarding his early rising and sleeping habits.

He noted that it is particularly exasperating when numerous media representatives ask, "Sir, why do you retire for the night so early?" The actor remarked that they seem to believe the appropriate question should pertain to the reasons behind his prolonged sleep. While that inquiry may be valid, the context has evolved. Akshay concluded by emphasizing the importance of addressing this issue.
