Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna is all over social media for all the right reasons, thanks to his powerful performance in the latest theatrical release Dhurandhar, where he plays Pakistani gangster Rehman Dakait. He has been widely praised by both netizens and celebrities for the intensity and depth of his portrayal, and his unexpected dance to the Arabic track FA9LA has also been winning the internet.
Did Akshaye Khanna React To Widespread Praise For Role In Dhurandhar?
Amid the praises for his role, a tweet from Akshaye's X handle (formerly Twitter) has now gone viral, marking his first statement following Dhurandhar's success. He replied to film critic Rohit Jaiswal, who had stated that if Akshaye wanted, he could easily appear at events every day and earn Rs 50-60 lakh just for showing up. But despite being constantly talked about after Dhurandhar's success, Akshaye neither seeks visibility nor tries to cash in on his popularity in any way.
In response, Khanna wrote, "Gratitude for the kind words. I’ve always believed that an actor's real journey is with his work, not the noise around it. If Dhundhar touched people, that is the only reward I need."
Here's The Truth About Akshaye Khanna's Tweet
However, the truth is that the tweet is not from Akshaye's official X handle, as the actor is not on any social media platform. The account circulating online is fake.
