Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna is enjoying a moment of quiet celebration following the success of his latest film Dhurandhar. Instead of public appearances or media interactions, the actor chose a deeply personal and spiritual way to mark the occasion by performing a Vastu Shanti hawan at his serene home in Alibaug.
Known for maintaining a low profile, Akshaye has once again stayed true to his nature. While Dhurandhar has generated strong buzz for its gripping narrative and powerful performances, especially Akshaye’s portrayal of Rehman Dakait, the actor has largely remained away from the spotlight. His performance has been widely appreciated by audiences and critics alike, reaffirming his reputation as one of Hindi cinema’s most refined performers.
Akshaye Khanna shares a glimpse of the puja
A rare glimpse into Akshaye’s personal life surfaced when priest Shivam Mhatre, who conducted the Vastu Shanti puja, shared a video from the ritual. The clip quickly caught attention online, as fans are seldom treated to such moments from the actor’s private space. The ceremony, rooted in ancient Indian traditions, is believed to cleanse a home of negative energies and bring peace, harmony and prosperity.
In his post, the priest spoke warmly about the actor, praising not only his humility but also his artistic legacy. He described Akshaye Khanna as “the definition of class in acting,” a sentiment echoed by many who admire the actor’s thoughtful choice of roles and understated yet impactful performances. According to him, Akshaye’s calm demeanour and positive energy made the ceremony special and memorable.
On the career trajectory of Akshaye Khanna
Over the years, Akshaye has carved a niche for himself with performances in films such as Drishyam 2, Chhaava and now Dhurandhar. Rather than chasing constant visibility, he has focused on meaningful cinema, earning respect for his discipline, restraint and depth as an actor. His work often speaks louder than publicity, a rarity in today’s celebrity-driven culture.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar also stars Ranveer Singh and has emerged as a commercial and critical success. The film’s strong reception has already sparked excitement about a potential sequel, further cementing its impact.
While many stars celebrate success with grand parties or interviews, Akshaye Khanna’s choice to turn inward and seek spiritual balance reflects his grounded personality. It is this blend of talent, humility and introspection that continues to set him apart, even as his career enters yet another high point.
