Akshay inspires his Rowdy co-star Kaajal

Impressed by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar's great bod and exercise regime, actress Kaajal Vashisht (co-star in Rowdy Rathore) too is bitten by the fitness bug and recently joined Karate classes thanks to Akshay Kumar.  

"I am a huge fan of Akshay Kumar. He is so fit. He is truly an inspiration to a lot of people, and I am one of them. He told me that his fitness mantra is his regular martial arts practice. So I  thought why not  join some martial art class. " 

May be that's the reason Akshay's new fan Kaajal is spending 3 hours a day practicing Karate at a gym nearby her place, and she is looking so fit and fresh these days. Hope someday Akshay inspires some of his fatty co-stars as well. Ahem ahem..
