Yes, the show that sees Akki playing a hotshot host, encouraging delicate beauties to perform unimaginable stunts, has won the hero praises from some very unexpected sources — Raveena Tandon and Shilpa Shetty.

Going down memory lane, the tough guy had some saucy affairs with both these sizzling ladies back in the day. So what do these ladies have to say about Akshay’s small screen avatar?

Speaking to a news daily, Raveena said, “Akshay is doing a superb job as the host of the show. And he’s doing what he enjoys the most. The format goes very well with his personality.” Raveena’s words are as per knowing Akki’s personality.

Moving on to the other lady in question, Shilpa Shetty can’t stop gushing about Akshay and has said, “Khatron Ke Khiladi is so very interesting and engaging that I’m hooked to it. Akshay is a great host and I must say the girls are very daring. I would have never been able to do these stunts.”

With such appreciation coming from ladies of his past, it is for sure Akshay has once again consolidated his numero uno Khiladi tag.
