Farah Khan has shared a candid conversation about her past experience working with Akshaye Khanna in the 1990s, admitting that she was left 'traumatised' due to his constant irritability on set.
The filmmaker, who has now developed a warm bond with Akshaye, revealed that she avoided working with him after their initial collaborations, citing his introverted and unpleasant behavior.
However, Farah's perception of Akshaye changed when they worked together on Dil Chahta Hai, which marked the directorial debut of her cousin, Farhan Akhtar.
She praised Akshaye's transformation, stating that he had 'reconciled with his hair' and become a 'brilliant dancer'.
Akshaye has recently received widespread praise for his portrayal of gangster Rehman Dakait in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, which has opened to an explosive box-office response.
