Anupam Kher Credits Akshay Kumar For Weight Loss, Gets Answering Tweet

The jury is still out on whether 60 is the new 40 but Bollywood actor Anupam Kher is clearly nailing it with his new toned self.

At 61, this veteran actor has dropped 14 kgs and, in a tweet, he credited a select group of folks for his makeover - actors Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor and nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar.
