Following Anant Ambani's personal invitation, many thought Akshay Kumar might take a short break from his busy promotional schedule to attend Radhika Merchant and Anant's wedding.

As a responsible individual, Akshay has isolated himself, causing him to miss both the concluding promotional events and Anant Ambani’s wedding.

Akshay Kumar is renowned for his discipline and relentless work ethic, making him one of the most industrious celebrities in the industry. Over the past few weeks, he has been extraordinarily busy promoting his much-anticipated film, "Sarfira", which hit theaters today. Fans anticipated that Akshay might take a brief respite from his hectic promotional schedule to attend the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, especially after Anant personally invited him. However, the superstar will miss both the grand event and the final leg of his film promotions due to testing positive for COVID-19.

An insider from the production team shared with HT City, "Akshay Kumar was deep into promoting his latest release, "Sarfira", when he began feeling unwell. After learning that some crew members had tested positive for COVID-19, he decided to get tested as a precaution. Unfortunately, his results came back positive on Friday morning. As a responsible individual, Akshay has isolated himself, causing him to miss both the concluding promotional events and Anant Ambani’s wedding, despite the personal invitation." The resurgence of COVID-19 during the monsoon season has impacted many, with Akshay being one of the latest affected.

"Sarfira", a highly anticipated adaptation of the 2020 Tamil film "Soorarai Pottru", has finally arrived in theaters. Directed by Sudha Kongara, the drama features an ensemble cast including Paresh Rawal, Radhikka Madan, and a cameo by Tamil superstar Suriya. Although Akshay will miss Anant and Radhika's wedding, the event, hosted by Mukesh and Nita Ambani, will still be a star-studded affair. International celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and her husband, American singer Nick Jonas, have flown to Mumbai to attend the celebration.

Akshay Kumar’s temporary pause is a testament to his responsible nature amidst a challenging situation, underscoring the unpredictability of life even for the most disciplined and hard-working individuals.
