When Akshay Kumar Did A Real-Life Stunt To Save Lara Dutta From Dying By Deep-Diving In Rising Seawater, She Was Shaken By This Accident!

Akshay Kumar is a hero both on-screen and in real life. While it’s easier to be a hero in front of the camera by saving lives, fighting evil and ensuring the world doesn’t end, doing the same IRL requires a lot of courage. And we saw Akki’s courage when he was filming a song with Lara Dutta in Cape Town, South Africa, for the 2003 romantic music Andaaz.

As per past media reports, Kumar saved Dutta from injury – and worst, death by drowning, by jumping into the deep seawaters while shooting for their film Andaaz. Read on to know about the incident.

As reported by ibtimes, while shooting a sequence for Andaaz’s Rabba Ishq Na Howe in Cape Town, South Africa, Akshay Kumar saved Lara Dutta’s life. The accident occurred while they were filming the song on top of a rock, and the crew had no idea there would be high tide. The report states that when a wave crashed into the rock, the former beauty queen accidentally slipped and was swept away by the wave. And she didn’t know swimming.
