About Alka Bhatia in brief
Akshay’s sister Alka Bhatia is a popular producer of Bollywood movies. In the past, she has produced Kiara Advani starrer Fugly along with Akshay Kumar. Alka is married to businessman Surendra Hiranandani.
During the promotion of the 2022 movie Raksha Bandhan, Akshay Kumar talked in detail about his bond with Alka Bhatia. “My bond with my sister has been that of love. My sister is not at all scared of me and she's a very cool-natured person who does not fight at all. There has never been any quarrel among us, even if my temper rises sometimes, she still remains calm. Since childhood, my parents have taught me that my sister is not just my sister but a Devi (deity). So, for me, she is a Devi,” told Akshay in a press conference.
On the professional front, Akshay has also started shooting for multiple projects set to release in 2024 which also includes the much-awaited Hera Pheri sequel and Welcome To The Jungle.
