According to News 18, at a Republic World event, Akshay Kumar was asked about the common issue of discipline among film stars, particularly their habit of waking up late and arriving on set behind schedule. Responding with his trademark wit, he made it clear that he doesn't wish to be a 'star' that only emerges at night.

He said, "First of all, I will say, I don’t want to be a star. Because stars raat mein nikalte hain. (Because stars come out at night.) I want to be the sun. I don’t want to be the star." His remark highlighted his disciplined lifestyle, setting him apart from many in the industry who struggle with time management.

The Sky Force actor further highlighted the importance of discipline by citing tennis champion Sania Mirza as an example. He pointed out that success is impossible without discipline, emphasizing that athletes like Sania had to follow a strict routine to achieve greatness.
