Akshay Kumar follows only 6 profiles on Instagram. They are…

By Medha ChawlaAkshay Kumar, hands down, is one of the biggest names in the Hindi film industry! Khiladi Kumar, despite his current lacklustre form, continues to be one of the busiest actors in Bollywood. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Oh My God 2 and Phir Hera Pheri 2 are just a few names when it comes to his upcoming projects.

With a massive fan following, the actor has an equally impressive social media presence, especially on Instagram. The superstar’s Instagram feed is surely flooded with work-related posts but he also often delights fans with snippets from his personal life. Another interesting thing about his profile on the photo-and-video-sharing platform is the number of profiles he follows. The actor, who is followed by over 64 million people on the social media platform, follows back only 6 profiles and they offer a unique insight into his interests and values.
