Khiladi Meaning [खिलाड़ी]

Khilaadi or Khiladi is a Hindi/ Urdu word which means a player, somebody who plays or participates in a game or sport.

Khiladi comes from the word 'khel' which is used for games and sports alike. Even though the word is most commonly used for players as in athletes etc., the word can be used in negative senses as well, for people who play 'games'. However, it's not common to use it for a player as in playboy, though nowadays since people try and translate things across languages, some such uses can be seen too.

Khiladi was the name of Akshay Kumar's first hit film and he's since acted in a number of films with the word 'Khiladi' in their names.
