If Akshay Kumar is winning best Actor awards in Indian awards then the awards aren't credible. In Bollywood, more than any other film industry, the awards are popularity contests mostly instead of being based on merit of performance. It happens in every industry, but is very prevalent in Bollywood. That is one reason why Indian Film Awards don't mean anything around the world unlike BAFTA, Oscar, Golden Globes and Cannes awards which all mean something in almost every film industry.
