'Greed never ends': Akshay Kumar shares why he isn’t satisfied even with a Rs 2,000 crore FD

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who recently appeared on the third season finale of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show', shared how human greed never allow people to be satisfied with the money they earn in their life.

“I had read a news article long ago that Jeetendra sahab had made a fixed deposit (FD) of Rs 100 crore. I still remember, I ran to my father and asked, ‘Daddy, if someone makes an FD of Rs 100 crore, what would the interest be?’ At that time, the interest rate was 13%, which meant Rs 1.3 crore per month. I thought, ‘The day I manage to create an FD like that, I’ll feel financially secure.’ But humans are never satisfied. That number kept increasing for me — from Rs 100 crore to Rs 1,000 crore and then Rs 2,000 crore. The greed never ends," said Akshay Kumar.
