Akshay on his 8-hour workday
In a separate conversation with another media house, Akshay explained why he is strict about an eight-hour work limit. He believes that a camera captures every detail, and once the body begins to tire, it shows on screen. For him, this rule is non-negotiable.

Sleep, family, fitness - His non-negotiables
Akshay has said that eight hours of sleep, time for family, workouts, and proper meals are essential. That’s why overworking is never an option for him. Once he reaches the set, he stays fully focused until the director calls pack-up, stepping away only when necessary. His disciplined approach, he said, keeps him balanced and camera-ready.
