Despite receiving immense love for “Dhurandhar,” actor Akshaye Khanna, who is known for his introverted nature, has chosen to stay away from social media and the spotlight, preferring to spend this time in solitude.
Simi Garewal Remembers a Special Encounter
Amid the accolades flooding in, veteran actress Simi Garewal reminisced about her experience of understanding the enigmatic Akshaye Khanna during her chat show, “Rendezvous with Simi Garewal.”
Discussing the barriers he builds around himself, Akshaye shared, “I may have become slightly better at making them look a little transparent, but they are still there.”
When queried about whether he possesses a soulful and vulnerable essence, he simply responded with a “yeah.”
Sensitivity at Heart
“I am very sensitive to people I consider close to me. The slightest thing there, and I am like ‘Oh God,’ it hurts me,” Akshaye elaborated. He acknowledged that while he is extremely cautious about not hurting others, he sometimes finds himself doing so inadvertently.
“I regret it later and vow never to do it again, yet sometimes you slip up. Since I am so sensitive, I am very cautious about others’ sensitivity,” he admitted.
The Importance of Apologizing
Akshaye revealed he has no qualms about saying sorry, stating, “It is such a nice thing, and it’s so easy, it’s so freeing.”
He clarified that being an introvert is not a personal choice for him. Instead, he enjoys meeting new people; it simply doesn’t come naturally. “I like meeting people and getting to know them; I just don’t have the skills to do it, that’s it. There is a big difference between not wanting to and being closed, as opposed to not being able to,” Akshaye expressed.
Simi’s Throwback Clip
Sharing a throwback clip on her Instagram, Simi captioned, “He’s Akshaye Khanna. A superb actor. He’s also an introvert. It was rewarding to break through the walls that surround him in our throwback Rendezvous. A man of few words, he didn’t evade. He let me peer inside the enigma.”
