Akshay Kumar has updated his Facebook page after a while now. The star’s excuse has been that he was extremely busy shooting for his Khatron Ke Khiladi's Season 2. On the blog, the superstar mentions his busy schedule, the desperate measures he took to make sure he could watch the IPL and most surprisingly, he gives a shout out to his ex-girlfriend Shilpa Shetty. Here’s what he wrote:“Hello my friends,
Firstly I’d like to apologise for the long gap, I’ve recently been in South Africa shooting for the second season of Khatron Ke Khiladi Fear Factor in Cape Town, as well as trying to juggle my time with dubbing for Kambakht Ishq, supporting my Delhi Dare Devils at the IPL, taking my entire family on Safari whilst preparing myself for some insane stunts for my show. Thank god I’m much better at juggling 5 extreme events than I’ll ever be at juggling 5 balls…”
IPL Fever
“Speaking of balls I’m now in Singapore filming for De Dhana Dhan… But the second I landed what was the most important thing to me - My IPL! So I called up my producer and said I don’t care where I stay, even if it’s in the back of a kitchen, I need to watch my IPL. Bad news, my hotel didn’t have the channel; so what else can I do but personally find the hotel manager and fold my hands in humble request and plead and plead for what ever it takes to please get that channel.”
Dear Shilpa?…is Twinkle reading?
“Can you imagine by the next day I was sitting in my room watching KKR vs PKXI, happy is not enough to describe how I was feeling… And wow what a season it’s been, seriously I wish the best for all the teams, you have me on the edge of my seat, and I’d like to send my best regards to Shah Rukh Khan’s Knight Riders, they’ve put up a good fight so don’t worry boys you will always be loved. And Preity Z, she has a tremendous fighting spirit which I must say I adore, she makes us all proud. And dear Shilpa, what a come back after the first match, Shane Warne and Yusuf Pathan have carried her team well, keep smiling Shilpa…”
The superstar also encouraged all sportspersons
“While we’re on the subject of sports, as much as I love my cricket, my family has many sporting talents in them, my little girl Simar loves basketball, and she’s won matches for her school already. But seeing like most sports in India (unlike cricket) it doesn’t have that much funding or backing. So I did some research that I’d like you all to check out. Look up the “Harlem Globetrotters” they are an American basketball league that have taken everyone by storm, they are incredible at basketball but there’s a twist, they go around performing the funniest comedian tricks in the arena which just leaves you with your mouth open in awe, seriously! Please check it out, coz I feel that not being a world champion at a sport doesn’t mean you can’t hold a place in peoples hearts with that sport, those guys are champions but it ain’t always about winning, it’s the taking part… So as I sign off, remember you don’t have to be the Best to be Great, you just have to want to get up and take part in something.”
And he mentions Shilpa again…
“For a simple example look where it’s got Shilpa, I remember when she didn’t know the difference between a wicket and a stump, now she owns half a team. And my daughter Simar may not be in the NBA yet, (she’s only 9) but she tries and strives to be.
So people Be a Sport, wake up and try a Sport.
With much love and support
Your Akshay…”
Careful Akshay, this sudden fondness for the ex could get you into some deep trouble with the missus.
