His comment made Akshay Kumar reflect on his own love life, so he shared a personal story that caught everyone’s attention.The ‘Khiladi’ actor shared, “Mujhe yaad hai, main apne time ki baat kar raha hoon. Aaj se kareeban 40 saal pehle main college mein tha, toh main ek ladki ko bahut chahta tha. Maine uske liye gaana seekha aur mera ek dost tha jisko guitar chalana aata tha. Main sacchi mein keh raha hoon, main uske ghar ke bahar jaake gaana gaya aur woh guitar baja raha tha. Maine gaana gaya, uske baad pata hai kya hua?” (I remember, I’m talking about my college days—around 40 years ago. There was a girl I really liked. I even learned a song for her, and one of my friends knew how to play the guitar. Honestly, I went outside her house, sang the song while he played the guitar. And do you know what happened after that?)
