Akshay Kumar admits he isn’t qualified to be a fighter pilot: ‘It’s no joke’

Akshay Kumar, known for his action-packed roles and performing many of his own stunts, recently reflected on the challenges of being a fighter pilot while promoting his latest film, Sky Force. In the movie, Akshay portrays an Air Force officer, prompting the question of whether he could actually qualify as a fighter pilot in real life.

Speaking in an interview with BookMyShow, Akshay expressed his admiration for the profession, acknowledging its demands. "I hope so, and I would definitely give my best shot. Fighter pilot training is no joke. It requires immense skill, focus, and discipline. With my background in fitness and martial arts, I think I could manage the physical aspects," he said confidently.

However, Akshay candidly admitted that academic qualifications would be his downfall. "If you look at my education, I think I’d fail the test," he said with a laugh, adding, "Flying a fighter jet is on a completely different level. It requires rigorous training to match the expertise of our real heroes."

The actor, who once hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi and earned the nickname 'Khiladi Kumar' for his daredevil stunts, reiterated his deep respect for the preparation and skill needed to fly such advanced machines. "It’s a whole different world, and I would need extensive training to even come close," he concluded.

Akshay’s humility and recognition of the extraordinary commitment required for the job further underscore his respect for the armed forces and their heroic efforts.
