Akshay Kumar, who is busy promoting his upcoming comedy movie Housefull 4, had recently been on the sets of 'Movie Masti with Maniesh Paul’ for a promotional event when an unpleasant event occurred.

As part of a performance, actors Ali Asgar and Paritosh were hooked onto ropes and hanging mid-air when the latter fainted, leaving everyone in shock. Akshay Kumar rushed to help the man and removed the harness. Paritosh had low BP which caused him to faint.

The video of the incident has gone viral.

According to a Times of India report, Paritosh recovered from his low BP within a few minutes and continued with the shoot. Ali Asgar reportedly said Akshay Kumar was the first to notice that Paritosh had begun to lose consciousness and the actor was quick to reach to him with help. "I guess that is why we call him the ultimate Khiladi," Times of India quoted Asgar as saying.

Akshay Kumar was on the sets of the show along with his fellow Housefull 4 actors Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Kriti Kharbanda, Kriti Sanon and Pooja Hegde.

Directed by Farhad Samji, Housefull 4 is scheduled to be released later this month.
