Akshay Kumar recalls the time Madonna left a Bollywood event mid-performance
During a recent chat on the show Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle Khanna, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar shared an unforgettable incident involving Hollywood icon Madonna. The story dates back to a special event where top Bollywood stars, including Akshay, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Juhi Chawla, performed in front of the international superstar.
The event, named Awesome Foursome, was a big deal, and the Bollywood stars were eager to impress Madonna, who had come to watch the show. Akshay recalled giving his best on stage, alongside Shah Rukh Khan and the other stars, all delivering their finest performances.
The performance that didn’t sit well with Madonna
However, the mood took an unexpected turn when a later performer sang a peculiar song specifically for Madonna. According to Akshay, the artist had written the song just that afternoon after hearing Madonna would attend. The lyrics included the line, “You look to me a virgin, you have a virgin smile.”
