\"AkshayeFarah Khan revealed on Ranveer Allahbadia\u2019s podcast that working with Akshaye Khanna in the \u201990s left her traumatised due to his irritability over hair loss. She said he changed after Dil Chahta Hai. Farah recently praised him for Dhurandhar and recalled how others rejected his Tees Maar Khan role before he took it. Akshaye Khanna<\/a> is getting the attention he deserves from his role in Aditya Dhar\u2019s \u2018Dhurandhar\u2019. With more eyes on him now, people are watching his funny and real acting in Farah Khan<\/a>\u2019s crazy movie \u2018Tees Maar Khan\u2019 again. It failed at the box office when it came out, but over time it became a fan favorite and part of pop culture. Social media clips of his scenes often tag Farah, and she praises him there. But she recently said their early work together was tough, she even skipped projects with him back then.<\/p>\n

Farah Khan traumatised after working with Akshaye Khanna<\/p>\n

On Ranveer Allahbadia\u2019s podcast, Farah Khan shared: \u201cIn the \u201990s, I did a couple of movies with Akshaye, and after that I was traumatised. Because he used to be a different person. Yes, introverted, but not a nice person on set. Whenever I heard that Akshaye Khanna was in a film, I used to say, \u2018I don\u2019t have the dates.\u2019\u201d She added that the actor was dealing with hair loss at the time, which kept him in a bad mood. <\/p>\n

Akshaye Khanna irritable over hair loss<\/p>\n

\u201cI think at that time he himself had said that he was losing his hair. He was constantly irritable. He used to throw things and say, \u2018What kind of dialogue is this?\u2019 He used to be that kind of person.\u201d But Farah noted her view shifted during their work on Farhan Akhtar\u2019s \u2018Dil Chahta Hai\u2019. She couldn\u2019t turn it down since it was her cousin Farhan\u2019s first time directing.<\/p>\n

Akshaye Khanna changes after \u2018Dil Chahta Hai\u2019<\/p>\n

She shared, \u201cHe had completely changed by then. He had reconciled with his hair. In \u2018Dil Chahta Hai\u2019, he became very chill. Before that, if there was water or rain in a scene, he would always wear a cap, like see every rain song of his, such as in Taal. But after Dil Chahta Hai, something changed. And he is a brilliant dancer, if you watch \u2018Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe,\u2019 he is dancing better than Aamir and Saif.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farah Khan praises Akshaye Khanna today<\/p>\n

Farah noted that they now enjoy a great bond. She even rang up Akshaye Khanna right after seeing Dhurandhar to praise him. \u201cI called him and then I went to his Alibag house. What I like about him is that he is not about the fluff, he is about the work. He enjoys acting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akshaye Khanna gets \u2018Tees Maar Khan\u2019 role<\/p>\n

During the chat, Farah also disclosed that Aatish Kapoor\u2019s part in \u2018Tees Maar Khan\u2019, which Akshaye took on, had been passed up by others first. \u201cMany people said no to that role. First Sharman Joshi turned it down because he was doing Ferrari Ki Sawaari at the time. And Akshaye Khanna was the last person you would think of for that role because it\u2019s such a zany, cracked comedy, he had to go completely hamming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farah Khan revealed on Ranveer Allahbadia\u2019s podcast that working with Akshaye Khanna in the \u201990s left her traumatised…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345740,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[45148,321,82522,45145,93,3217,61,60,124560],"class_list":{"0":"post-345739","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-akshaye-khanna","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-dhurandhar","11":"tag-dil-chahta-hai","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-farah-khan","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-tees-maar-khan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345739\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
