Actor Akshay Kumar, who is gearing up for his period drama project Kesari, made yet another announcement regarding his digital debut  with Amazon Prime’s The End. Akshay performed a daredevil stunt as he set himself on fire at the launch event of his web series.

Much like others, his wife, author Twinkle Khanna had no clue about the stunt he performed at at the packed event. Twinkle who was shocked to see the pictures of the stunt took to Twitter and replied to the actor’s tweet:

Crap! This is how I find out that you decided to set yourself on fire ! Come home and I am going to kill you-in case you do survive this! #GodHelpMe https://t.co/K7a7IbdvRN
