EXCLUSIVE: “Akshay Kumar Reminds Me Of My Cousin” – Suniel Shetty Opens Up About Their Brotherly Bond

While the two have shared screen space in several hit films, from Waqt Hamara Hai to the Hera Pheri series, Suniel revealed there’s something deeper that makes their bond so special.
“Akshay reminds me of my cousin Ullas,” Suniel said with a nostalgic smile. “That’s probably why I’ve always felt emotionally attached to him. There’s just something in the wiring, the structure, the look (especially when they were both younger and leaner) that brings Ullas to mind.”
“I told Akshay this on the very first day we met,” he recalled. “It was our first day shooting for Waqt Hamara Hai, and I said to him, ‘God, man, the way you behave, everything about you…’ I was just so excited.”
