Hyderabad:Akshay Kumar is known for his punctuality. So, when reports regarding the incidents of him leaving the Bigg Boss 18 sets without shooting surfaced, it soon spread like wildfire. While several reports suggested that Akshay walked out from the sets after Salman Khan failed to arrive on time, Akshay has cleared the air on why he had to leave without promoting Sky Force during the finale episode of the reality show.
Currently busy with promotions for his upcoming film Sky Force, Akshay was in New Delhi on Monday with his team as part of promotional spree. It was during this event that he was questioned over the incident and, thus, replied to set the record straight. Akshay clarified that he had prior commitments and was running late, thus compelling him to leave the Bigg Boss 18 sets. The superstar also clarified that the case was not otherwise, and he had spoken Salman before leaving and that everything was cool between them.
"I was late for something," Akshay said in Delhi. "I spoke to Salman and he was stuck with something personal. He told me that he would be late by around 40 minutes. But I had to leave because I had a prior commitment. Mujhe jana pada. However, we spoke about it."
Last seen together in Singham Again, Salman and Akshay have worked together on several films in the 2000s. The duo has also shared screen space in films like Jaan-E-Mann and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.
