Akshay 'Khiladi' Kumar has always been admired for his daredevil stunts in films, and his recent act for much awaited KAMBAKKHT ISHQ seems to be even more heroic. Akshay recently shot for one of the brave action sequences in KAMBAKKHT ISHQ which saw him jumping through fire with a jet ski.

Refusing for a body double, Akki was hell bent on doing the scene himself. However, the rule at the studio they were shooting made clear that if an actor wants to do his stunt, he has to pass a test, which would be judged by a panel of six stunt directors. Of course, Akki successfully passed the test and hence, was allowed to carry on with the shoot. Along with riding the jet ski, the action sequence also has Akshay jumping from a water ski to a speed boat and finally using a chopper.
But fierce fighter Akshay was absolutely cool about the stunt and managed to pull it off extremely well. He isn't nicknamed the 'Khiladiyon ka Khiladi' for namesake!
