MUMBAI: For a man who knows no fear to do any action stunt, Akshay Kumar prefers to back track when he is attacked. As soon as word was out and a PIL was filed for his allegedly obscene act on a fashion show ramp, Akki chose to publicly apologise and end the debate without any further ado.

However, now the actor has put everything behind and is in South Africa shooting for the second season of Khatron Ke Khiladi.

A source close to the actor revealed, "Akki prefers not to get tangled in such issues and realized that being apologetic about the incident would be the best way to end the furore. Akki immediately flew to South Africa for his shoot."

Talking about the second season, Akshay said, "The second season will be tougher for the contestants. But I want to tell all that courage only comes when you overcome fear. And I have had to do that for almost all my films. All the obstacles that will be faced by the girls have been done by me, so I know that it will not be a cakewalk for them.”

Akshay will return to Mumbai on 20 April from South Africa and start working on his films.
