Mumbai: Akshay Kumar is one of those few B-town hunks, whose rugged looks, killer smile and dollops of charisma can cast its magic on urbane sophisticated females as well as village women with equal ease.Recently, while Akshay was doing a photo session for a renowned magazine, he coaxed shy village womenfolk in chaste Marathi to join him for the shoot. The photo shoot was organised on the sets of ‘Tees Maar Khan’ at Malshej Ghat. Talking to a news daily, a source said, “It was an early morning shoot at Malshej Ghat and Akshay seemed quite satisfied with the concept. He was discussing some inputs when he spotted some village woman cutting grass nearby. He suddenly walked up to them and started talking to them in chaste Marathi - he’s very fluent in the language. In no time, the initially flustered women were lining up to shoot with him. Akshay’s almost instantaneous camaraderie with them was to be seen to be believed.” “The pictures came out just great. Before leaving, Akshay instructed his make-up man to give some money to the ladies as a token of his appreciation. Apparently all the women were given around 3000 rupees, and they seemed more than thrilled at the way their day had unfolded,” added the source. Akshay was all praise for the village women and said, “It was great fun. Those village women were very supportive after I spoke to them in Marathi.”
