So it’s only fair that the superstars get a few well-deserved breaks from their hectic shooting schedule, and what better way to do that than indulging in the sport they love?

Amir Khan: Many fans do not know that Aamir Khan played state-level tennis, as his father, Takir Hussain, mentioned in an interview. He had one foot on the national scene until he shifted his focus to acting.
Akshay Kumar: There’s a reason why Akshay Kumar looks natural when he pulls off stunts and fighting scenes in his movies. It’s because he’s a black belt holder in taekwondo and has also learned the ancient art of Muay Thai. Not only martial arts but ‘Akki’ is also adept at basketball, swimming, and kickboxing, which help him keep in shape.
