Koffee With Karan 7: Akshay Kumar reacts to being trolled for working with younger superstars, says ‘they're jealous’

Akshay Kumar has reacted to trolls on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan 7. The actor told the host that all the trolls are jealous and so, they end up trolling him. The actor was also talking about the trolling towards him romancing young actresses.

Akshay was recently trolled for romancing young actors at age 55. On Koffee With Karan 7 with Karan Johar and Samantha Akkineni, he asked the host whether he looks like he’s 55. Soon after stating that, he said that the trolls don’t bother him.

“They’re jealous,” was Akshay’s instant response. The actor said that the trolls were jealous that they were not romancing younger actresses. The statement made both Karan and Samantha laugh out loud.

Karan asked Akshay about another troll – Canadian Kumar. Akshay said that he is well aware about the trolling but doesn’t care. “Bolne do,” his response was.

Akshay is tagged as Canadian Kumar by trolls because he is legally a Canadian citizen. However, in the past, Akshay has responded stating that he is very much an Indian at heart and that’s all that matter.

On the show, Akshay said that he listens to the trolls from one ear and removes it from another. Meanwhile, Samantha said that the trolls do bother her.

Reportedly, the trolling for Akshay romancing young actors has made others actors cautious. Recent reports stated that superstar Shah Rukh Khan has refused to work with younger actresses after seeing how heavily Akshay was trolled for doing that.

Akshay Kumar will be seen romancing Bhumi Pednekar once again in Aanand L. Rai’s Raksha Bandhan. The two had worked together on Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, which was a hit when it released in theatres.
