Mumbai: Actor Akshay Kumar recently shared how he was shooed away by a watchman for doing a photoshoot at a bungalow during his early years in Bollywood.
Reminiscing the 32-year-old incident, the Mission Mangal actor said that he now owns a house at the exact location.
In a video, that has surfaced online, Akshay is seen saying that he used to work as an assistant for a well-known photographer before he made his debut in Bollywood.
The actor also revealed that he didn’t take his salary for a few months as he was hoping to do a photoshoot instead. "After 4-5 months, I told him, 'If you don’t mind Jayesh, can you please do my photoshoot and you need not pay me anything," recalled Akshay.
The two had gone to Juhu beach for the photoshoot where they found the dilapidated bungalow. "I quickly lied down on the parapet of the bungalow and he started clicking me. But a watchman of that building came towards us and shooed us away. We had already clicked 3-4 pictures by then," he said.

"It was not a plan but my current house, where I am sitting right now, is built on the same location. A building was constructed on the site of the dilapidated bungalow and I live in that building," he added further.
In the video, the 52-year-old actor also showed a collage of two pictures - one from the old photoshoot and the other, a recent click of the bungalow.
On the work front, Akshay has reunited with the Toilet: Ek Prem Katha writers for slice-of-life comedy. He also has Bell Bottom in his kitty.
