A rare glimpse of Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna has emerged online, showing the actor participating in a Vastu Shanti hawan at his residence in Alibaug, as the Aditya Dhar-directed Dhurandhar continues its impressive box office performance.
The video, posted on Instagram by priest Shivam Mhatre, captures Khanna engaged in the traditional ritual. Mhatre wrote in Marathi, “I had the fortune of performing a traditional and devotional puja at actor Akshaye Khanna’s residence. His calm nature, simplicity, and positive energy made the experience truly special.”
The priest Shivam Mhatre further praised actor Akshaye Khanna, stating, “Akshaye is the definition of ‘class’ in acting,” and commended his roles in Chhaava, Dhurandhar, Drishyam 2, and Section 375.
Known for maintaining a low profile, Akshaye Khanna has garnered widespread acclaim for portraying Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar, particularly his appearance in the viral track FA9LA. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, the spy thriller has achieved strong collections, crossing significant milestones nationwide.
As of late December 2025, the film has surpassed Rs 1000 crore worldwide, cementing its status as one of the year’s biggest blockbusters and highlighting Khanna’s understated yet powerful contribution to its success. Fans continue to appreciate the actor’s selective choices and recluse lifestyle, which allow his performances to shine without the distractions of constant public appearances.
