A martial arts expert, Akshay Kumar, is really overjoyed at receiving such a honour. This is the highest of all the honours among the Japanese. The Samurais practise Katana.
Thrilled about receiving the award, the hunk says, “It’s a privilege to be receiving this honour. Karate is a part of my soul and to be honoured with something as precious as a ‘Katana’ is something I hadn’t even dreamt of.”
