Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja lauds Akshaye Khanna's performance in Dhurandhar, 'Ranveer Singh toh mera favourite hai, par ab Akshaye bhi'

After unsettling audiences with his powerful turn as Aurangzeb in Chhaava, the actor has once again commanded attention as the brooding and dangerous Rehman Dakait in Aditya Dhar’s espionage thriller Dhurandhar. Though the film boasts strong performances from Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun, it is Akshaye Khanna who has unexpectedly become the film’s biggest talking point on social media. And now, Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja has openly declaring her admiration for the actor.

Sunita Ahuja heaps praise on Akshaye Khanna

Earlier today, Sunita had a small chat with paparazzi at the airport, where she openly praised Dhurandhar and Akshaye Khanna’s performance in the film.

“Dhurandhar kya picture thi yaar. Kamaal kar diya Akshaye Khanna ne yaar, maza aa gaya. Kya sundar lag raha hai, kya handsome. Comeback ho gaya hai uska. Mera favourite. Ranveer Singh toh mera favourite hai, par ab Akshay Kumar bhi, Akshaye Khanna sorry. Mast kaam kiya. Maza aa gaya picture dekh ke (What a film Dhurandhar was! Akshaye Khanna was absolutely brilliant — I thoroughly enjoyed it. He looks so good, so handsome. It feels like a proper comeback for him. He’s my favourite now. Ranveer Singh has always been my favourite, but now Akshay Kumar too... sorry, Akshaye Khanna. He’s done a fantastic job. I had a great time watching the film),” she said.

As social media continues to celebrate Akshaye Khanna’s transformation, he has chosen distance over publicity. Fans were therefore taken by surprise when a rare video of the actor surfaced online. Shared by a priest named Shivam Mhatre on Instagram, the clip shows Akshaye Khanna performing a Vastu Shanti hawan at his Alibaug home.
