Rohit Shetty revealed that early in his career, he was Akshay Kumar's body double in the 1994 film *Suhaag*. Shetty learned Akshay's walk to perform as his stunt and body double during the shoot, even addressing Akshay and co-star Ajay Devgn as "sir" on set. This revelation was made during a 2017 episode of *The Great Indian Laughter Challenge*, where Akshay Kumar was a judge and joked about their first meeting on the *Suhaag* sets. Rohit Shetty later became a successful director and worked again with Akshay Kumar on films like *Sooryavanshi*[1][2][4][6][8]. Additional details include that Shetty started as an assistant director and stunt performer before rising to fame as a filmmaker known for action entertainers, and that *Golmaal Again* cast appeared with Shetty on the show where this was revealed[1][2][4].
