New Delhi: Bollywood’s one of the most underrated actors – Akshaye Khanna has finally arrived and how! Not that he has not delivered a hit before but fans are now noticing the smallest of his nuances as a fine performer – all thanks to the character of Rehman Dakait, in Dhurandhar, whose portrayal made him nation’s favourite. The film is earning moolah at the Box Office and he is being lauded for his superlative acting chops. Even after the movie released and social media erupted with praises for the star – he is not cashing in on the limelight, giving interviews but somewhere chilling and watching Netflix probably – far away from the maddening crowd.
Akshaye Khanna remains a mystery to many, with very little known about his personal life. At 50, he is single and loving it ( so is clear from some of his earlier interviews). Today, in this feature, let’s try to recall and scroll through some of the names he has been linked-up with. Although, Akshaye never really spoke about dating in public, rumours were abuzz with his relationship reports with some of the leading ladies back in time.
