ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2019
- #AkshayeKhanna doesn't work as frequently as some of his peers, but he's sped up his process lately. This year he was in "The Accidental Prime Minister", and he's got two more films due to release before the end of 2019. His latest film #Section375, a courtroom drama centered around an investigation into a rape case, tackles the matter of consent and the murky nature of the Indian legal system. Akshaye says the film couldn't be more timely, and he was instantly drawn to it. This interview first aired on CNN-News18 on August 30, 2019.

Like father like son handsome, mature and best in his job. U dont need social media akshay, ur work speaks. Wishing u a future full of work.
did you say handsome ?? Mate he might be a good actor , charming and mature but no way he is handsome . Vinod khanna is handsome not him though
@@zackbrown5201 do you think that because he is bald? Just remember other big stars are hiding under their wig to look young. This guy has the guts to stay real and I respect him for that..
@@onepunchman7407 bro its nothing about being bald....there are lot of actors in Hollywood who are bald but equally good looking ....dwayne Johnson , Jason Statham , Bruce Willis .....akshaye khanna isn't handsome ....he is short ....has weak face etc
@@zackbrown5201 He is not a model or Mr. Universe to look good and beautiful face or physique but he is a damn good actor with unique style of acting..We should appreciate his work not his look..
@@zackbrown5201 Well handsome/beauty is a personal opinion....but I agree with the rest. He has a good smile....he is charming.
He is a hell of a classy man.
I love this guy. I wish he makes a comedy film with Priyadarshan soon. Hulchul and Hungama are my fav films.
True. I laughed till I cried and literally rolled on the bed. Chup Chup k was great too. I want comedies like that again, not just slapstick humour.
@@joyeetakar7773 priyadarshan is the best comic director in the country. Now we get craps from david and his son varun. Really miss those tyms growing up when we used to enjoy the movie on TV. Hope priyadarshan comes back
Even in tees maar khan.. he was at his best
Mahir Aryan aa ab laut chalen , taal also great movies
hulchul part 2 is coming it is named as Phir Hulchul starring akshaye khannna , kareena kapoor, nidhi aggarwal..director - priyadarshan
Under-utilized, underrated and still not got his due
Like Arjun Kapoor 😞
@@delhiite23 Arjun kapoor just started
@@delhiite23 sacrilege!! There is no comparison
Naveed Arshad he is definitely underrated
He gets his dues in all the appreciation he received. This man movie might not do but his characters always click, when you think about it he is clearly one of the most versatile actor Indian cinema has. I have watched an earlier interviews of him, he was never really there to be a star. But you are right he is under-utilized.
I guess this is the only interview where I could see Akshaye in the mood to talk. It's the victory for Rajeev. +1
Glad that people don't troll him for his fallen hair any longer,He is being appreciated for the right thing he is in Films for and that is Acting.
Trolling and body shaming is too common in India. Hope it changes because it's considered very bad where I am now in USA.
Even with his hair loss, he still looks million times better than actors like Ranveer Singh and Tiger Shroff
@@humanentity2214 It is considered bad in USA because every second person is Chubby there.
@@lodalega9674 body shaming is not just about being obese. Skinny people are trolled more in India than fat ones. Bald ones even more. It's a cultural thing which is fortunately not very common in USA.
Have paused the video at 15:03 and felt the need to comment something.. never have i ever come across such an intelligent answer to nepotism.. have started admiring akshay a bit more than i did.. Resuming to the interview again..
Faheem Gani totally bang on
Absolutely....totally different take ...intelligent guy indeed
@Faheem Gani His answer is very generic and diplomatic. Ofc no doubt that it is the audience who make or break a star but the stepping stone is provided by nepotism. Ranbir, Varun and others wouldn't have become "stars" without that stepping stone and background support. For an outsider it is really difficult to set his foot into the industry let alone bag a role as a lead in a movie. His answer was sugercoated and very wrong.
@@i_n5771 if you had followed his answer properly & understood the depth of it you couldn't have term his reply as "sugercoated". He was just brutal about telling the nature of the business. He even stated that it is like politics! He is simply implying that as long as audience is not changing their taste of films, the industry never gonna change its nature as well. To put it simply, the offbeat stories like "dil chahta hai" could only have their place in Bollywood when such stories started to do well in box office from 2000 onwards. And that opportunity also could showcase how good of an "actor" actually Akshae is! Now suppose if "dil chahta hai" didn't work well then later on producer of similar offbeat stories wouldn't dare to invest on such films. Indirectly, what he is suggesting that audience should build up their taste of stories first, then the industry will follow accordingly by focusing more on story lines, not on appointing some non-talented "star kid" to attract the mass.
@@i_n5771 I agree with you. it was a very diplomatic answer and doesn't really make much sense in the real world. He completely ignores that the audience are spoonfed the star kid movies that have been hyped up already, thanks to huge marketing budgets.
He performs better in his interviews than all actors combined in your roundtable discussions!
He is such an underrated actor, he deserves more good movies, my respect for him has increased more because he is brutally honest, he is not fake or making up answers like some other actors, he is just honest about what he feels.
Akshay Khanna Perfect Answer to Nepotism ---- "Public make you actor and famous not nepotism" Very Well Said, love you Akshay Khanna --- Perfectly Spoken Akshay Khanna
Akshay khana is a Allrounder....He can do any things...Comedy..Romantic...Intense....Negative.role... in one word...Briliant Actor
Yeah from Hulchul to Section 375, it's like very good range
HE should feature in all good web series! What a talented, beautiful and NICE person he is! Always look forward to his interviews and movies!
He gave one of the best answers regarding nepotism. Great perspective.
That answer shows his audacity and privilege to answer like this. Do you realize that audiences are not given option. He totally ignored the fact that some crap actors get opportunities for their family connection. He might be a good actor now- but he was given number of opportunities to fail before he became what he is today.
@@spreadlove1640 people become good with time, no one starts brilliant. There are many nepotism products who have failed to make it big after their first break. It is the audience that decides that ranbir kapoor will be a superstar and uday chopra not one. It is the same audience which made Varun Dhawan the superstar and Siddharth Malhotra not one even though they started at a level playing field.
Best example is Ranbir Kapoor, he started with average performances but improved to a level where few have reached. Many actors who started with a big hit have not managed to go further because they did not improve over time.
@@@adityasen2281 Though Varun or Ranbir have been made stars by the audience. There may be many Ranbir or Varun who don't even get a chance to meet a producer/Director. Let alone the opportunity to act in films for the audience to make or not make them a star. And we have heard many stories where even talented actors have been replaced by star kids. Totally agree with @spreadlove though I have always liked Akshaya Khanna..
@@spreadlove1640 yes he cannot just,
Completely blame audiences for that too,
I know it plays a major of it, but
Producers are equally responsible for that thing too,
@@aniketmeshram6598 well He said Audiences make Nepo Kids star , and That's 100% true . Nepo kids may get more opportunities but it's their performance that makes them Star. eg. Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor get trolled for thier acting on social media they are famous but I won't say that they are star. Few couple of more shitty movies they are out of industry , producers will hesitate to make movie with them. Also nepo kids have pressure of their parents fame eg. Abhishek B. Were compared to his father.
A very difficult man to interview. Rajeev looks so nervous. Like he is talking to his crush. 🤨
टकला crush 🤣🤣
@@makarandsawant5270 yehi takle k piche teri maa behn pagal hai 😂
😂😂😂😂
Rajeev is like that with everyone 😀
Never have I seen so many positive comments for a star, especially on YT. Shows how genuine and fine person(as an actor) this guy is. Anyways 'A' is for Versatility - Akshay Kumar, Khanna and Amir. ;)
Enjoyed the interview. Akshay is such a grounded person and so rooted in his identity as an actor. It's nice to see creative people having clarity of thought combined with humbling realistic view of life. I always loved his intensity and admired him for that. I watched Taal multiple times just for him...
he is not buffoon like most actors today but a fantastic actor who doesn't concern himself with wasteful activities like other actors do❕❕
Very well said
Very true
Versatile actor, most underrated
Genuine person
Sorted thoughts
Amazing interview 👌
Can't wait for the movie
Aamir and Akshaye my fav actors.... Both of them have so much similarities - no awards, so simple, no controversies, no tantrums, no cheap shows, no nonsense, very mature , down-to-earth and very intelligent actors..
Clear mind... Sorted thoughts... Brilliant interview
Yesssd
Could have done without Rajeev's constant "right, sure, hmmm, excellent" senseless and distracting fillers. 13:10 - on point
@@ananyashethreplies it's a reaction which you should give generally when you are listening to someone talking this important,
I know its in his instinct, but it's a really good habit to compliment others when you feel thats great answer,
And before even Akshay's explanation,
He understood whole the whole thing what he was going to say,
He was just waiting for an answer
And i also think that he knows the answer very well,
He just came here to ask his view upon nepotism
One of the most underrated actors of India
He comes across as a very INTELLIGENT GUY...... Can't say that about most people in the Hindi film industry. Great Interview!!
What a talented, beautiful and NICE person he is! Always look forward to his interviews and movies!
Rest in peace nepotism debate... Welcome the perspective, quite rational and logical. This guy is so lovable and respectful. Speak your mind.
Aparna Wali I agree to what he said, but also I personally feel that those "born in a film family" get more chances even if their film crashes, I mean even if their acting isn't appreciated or the film didn't do well, still they get more chances, compared to the new comers, like if you see Alia bhat's first film wasn't really a great film, or for that matter, even Varun Dhawan's, but they got chance immediately.
@@jatinbhatia2278 yes it is, and how many times we are going to mention this same damn thing in every star kid films or there trailer,
Just how many times ???
@@jatinbhatia2278 so what if they are born as the son of a movie star? If you are the son of a minister or a sportsperson or an army officer will you not automatically get more opportunities than others who come from other background? Some are born poor some born rich. Such is life. We have to accept the reality.
@@aniketmeshram6598 it's an unfair practice.
And any unfair practice has to mentioned, so that people understand that's it's not okay.
I will give you one simple example.
Few years back, sati was widely practiced in India. And people thought it's okay.
I mean it's a practice, for windows.
Just like how you are saying, nepotism is a practice.
Sati was abolished because people thought about it.
Because laws were made.
So unless we talk, it's not going to change.
Just because some people don't find it oppressive or unfair doesn't means it's okay.
not fully agreed.. these star kids are just being forcefully imposed on audience no matter they deliver hit or flop.. they keep getting chance back to back.. so many flop actors like sonam kapoor, arjun, jackie, emraan initially kept on getting chance again & again.. even their box office collections are hyped and their pr is constantly putting them in news for stupid reasons..
Akshaye Khanna the youngest among d 90's actors.. He is even 3 yrs younger than John Abraham.. A potent actor.. He has something to offer always in all of his films n also best even playing negative character.. Some of his brilliant acting Deewangi, Humraaz, Hungama, Dil Chahta Hai, Border, Aa Ab Laut Chalen, Taal, Aakrosh, Hulchul, Doli Sajake Rakhna etc..
mohabbat!!!!
I am the biggest fan of AKSHAYE KHANNA.. 😘😘😘
Even me 😊😊
Devi Nayam So true,metoo
Akshaye Khanna,naam toh suna hi hoga, aur woh naam hi kaafi hai picture dekhne ke liye.Biggest fan of AK.
Me too..he is very good dancer too
Me2
Akshaye is back with a bang! And Richa is in the same film! Of course, I’m watching the film!
i thought u were saying and richa is same in every film:d which wd be a fair point
rahul tiwari She’s amazing and that’s all I have to say.
It is a very good film
Akshay is so mature and humble guy It’s always treat to watch him in any movie .
When he was at his prime he looked exactly like young Robert De Niro. Even their introvert personalities match and suit with their own personas.
Èven I feel the same.... the way they contort their eyes while delivering the dialogues and their style of giving interviews
credit to Rajeev for being a great interviewer...making up the right questions for a reticent actor to open up...
13:15: hands down the best sentence in the whole interview. "You need not go on I had the point." Hahahaha Masand should keep that in mind. By the time he finishes every question the interviewee forgets the original sentence.
This is probably the best interview so far I have watched of Aksheya, explaining things much in relevant to practical things of life. Rajeev seems to be understanding this guy a lot better than others. Thanks
Probably the best answer on NEPOTISM till date
It's the same answer that everyone from film industry has given regarding nepotism. We don't make stars, audience does and it's b.c of audience that star kids are here to stay. It's not like the audience will be excited for an outsider without seeing their films first. A kalank is flop but it made more than 100 crores b.c audience will go for it b.c of whose who in that film. Compare that to another bad film of an outsider which will sink at the box office earning one tenth of 100 crore.
dishonest answer.
@@Finnola u gotta watch more interviews to know the clear difference.
@@yashsingh6273 probably you need to come out of your Bollywood fan zone to understand the shitty answer he gave. This man has a list of shitty films before he got his right foot. Any outside will not get that many chances to fail. This is the difference.
I was kid when humraaz released and i hated this man like a hell. Now everytime i watch that move, i love him.
That gym scene in humraaz scared me when i was a kid
Most underrated actor in bollywood. One of the finest actors above all khans. Nepotism ka best product lol
kuch bhi
Agreed
@Uncle Bruce and much much better than srk salman
not even a single negative comment..
he is shining
Exactly! Those were my thots too.
His thought over change in indian cinema according to audience is absolutely true. He mentioned Kabir singh to support his statement. Very intelligent actor with huge acting talent indeed.
I don’t know why he has done so less films..same for his brother.
7:37 That's some brutal honesty and not some sugarcoated response.
People who reply directly and are not verbose are usually harder to interview because they do not beat around the bush much, which sometimes makes for interesting conversation
How many times we come across a brilliant actor who is equally articulate and intelligent!! It's such a pleasure to listen to ppl like him and ayushman khurrana
Classy, mature, intelligent and honest guy and fantastic actor.
Well mannered man like his dad Sir
I think he’s one of those few Hindi cinema actors who calls spade a spade, no bullshit whatsoever. Absolute pleasure watching his interviews, even more than his movies. What a gem!
His wigs look real and he would look awesome if he goes full bald with facial hair like dwayne johnson and jason statham
Wow such deep thoughts, just love the way his mind works. Fitting reply to each and every question asked by the interviewer. Hope to see him in many more films :)
Rajeev must allow the guest to finish.. His constant interruptions get annoying.. Its like he's fishing for certain answers and when he doesn't get them, he changes the question..
It's like he is putting words in the mouth of the guest/s. May be he thinks that he is on the same wavelengths
In the day and age where all the big stars are so self conscious about their hair or about getting old, Akshaye Keanna oozes confidence and charm
Reading all positive comments..I beleive that audience is really getting intelligent day by day.. thanku Rajiv for interviewing Akshay..I always wished to know him more..
Akshaye Khanna is one of the finest actor in the industry.Be it comedy or intense role he is just so good.He is just so real in his interview.
I loved Deewangee wish they would make deewangee 2 with him again as a lawyer. He is a great actor
When I saw the thumbnail of the video... I thought the comment section will be filled with people commenting on his physical look saying he is bald or at the age of 48 he looks so old but surprisingly people are appreciating his intelligence and sensibility. Respect to those viewers also.
What a personality man hats off You are underutilised has to get more chances
Undeniably there is something extra extra ordinary thing about akshay khanna.....
Truly a gem🤩🤩
One of the finest actor of our times. He is just outstanding.. Akshay please act more n more movies...
This interview should not have ended, bcoz next one with him would come after 2 yrs :(
The great actor with mature thoughts...wish him a grand success for his future...love you Akshaye...!
Thinking man's actor. What understanding of subjects and maturity...
i missed him a lot...the most charming, handsome hero in the 90's ....Taal is my most fav movie..
My favourite actor.i don't why he was absent from bollywood for past many years..
Rajeev please keep up with interviewing gems like him we rarely get to hear from, and asking complex and thought-provoking questions as opposed to the usual--when are you getting married
Akshay is such a no nonsense person. I love his approach
Love u Akshaye, you are effortless actor who can perform any role with true conviction. Love the way you are so open about your baldness, most actors do not face camera without their hair properly styled. Needs guts, which u have in abundance.
One actor who deserves more work than he is being offered in this industry
And also, come on social media platform, people like me ( fans) would love to see and follow you. You will receive lots of love from people.
Akshayeeeeee you’re such a gem of an actor lawd I missed watching you...
Very very fine actor. Still to see his best work. Wish to see him more in the coming years !!!
Akshay Khanna is so talented !Bring him on!!
I’ve always loved his acting. Glad he is doing roles again. He was brilliant in Gandhi my father.
Akshay, u may not have been successful ( at least as much u r deserving of ) in Bollywood but rest assured that many of us believe that u r a class above MANY.
We all wish u well.
Just one personal suggestion. When u wear a hair system ( aka wig for the public) please go for one with a very low density one. Will look so much more real and make the already handsome u several notches more and possibly increase yr success too especially in Bollywood or possibly even in Hollywood ( u would fit in there too )
How many movies have you watched starring Akshay?
@@sonuj5570 LOL. You've got a point Bro. Not too many . 😁 But whichever few I did, surely liked the guy. Both in comedy, serious roles. He's a likeable guy. Guess that's the bias .
He doesn't wear a wig...
@@makarandsawant5270 I meant in the movies whenever he has to wear one
I really want akshay and priyadarshan sir jodi back with comedy film... I'm really missing this
really..i love that movie HULCHUL..no matter how many times i have seen it,,i always catch when its on tv
the interviewer need to speak less and ask less long winded questions - this will allow the interviewee to speak more!
Akshay Khanna has been brilliant since his Debut film Himalaya Putra (1997). I wish his brother, Rahul Khanna, acted regularly in films.
Very simple and straight forward man.
One of the most underrated and best neoptism product..
Nobody :
Rajeev : correct
Made me laugh out loud 😄😄👍
Nobody :
Rajeev : Right
Rajeev: Sure
Nobody :
Rajeev :Hmmmm
😂😂
He is one of the most intelligent actors in this industry
His career will b booming again. Im really glad to c him active again.
Akshaye Khanna has been my favourite actor for so long. This is a very fascinating film. I’ll definitely see it.
When he says I don't miss young face..He actually is missing...He is d kind of person who will deny abt what he actually wished or wishes..Nd he would love to be srk or varun bt when u ask he will Deny..d prblm is dat that he is fooling himself...He has to ..But doesn't wants to admit that he couldn't have dat charm that he was wishing ever since his child hood
He is an old soul. He should be in a "Mad Men" hindi version. 😐
I wish we could see him more on the screen. One of the finest and underrated actors in the industry.
What a phenomenal talent akshay is. Well spoken and literally the best answer to nepotism I’ve heard till date.
Akshay is one of the best actor to have in bollywood
Handsome & intelligent Mr.Akshay Khanna
Absolutely Staggering. What a brilliant answer on Nepotism.
I loved his take on nepotism. I just wish he didn’t mention Arjun Kapoor lol. Also yes David Dhawan didn’t make Varun a star- but his dad def gave him films like main Tera hero and Judwaa 2 which helped in making him a star. Other stars like sidharth Malhotra who is an outsider doesn’t have these opportunities.
Sky Scorpio I disagree. I don’t think Sid had many opportunities like Varun has. Just the quality of films Varun is offered is way better. Did Sid ever get offered roles like October or Badlapur? No.. he hasn’t. Karan himself has given better films to Varun than Sid because Varun is an industry kid.
Sky Scorpio you need to learn how to argue. Personally attacking someone by saying I don’t know the difference and I need to learn. I don’t argue with rude people like you who don’t know how to argue..it’s not that serious. 🙄
But you have to admit that Sid is not as talented as Varun.
Nabeel Khan that I agree for sure. I rather watch him over Sid because of the talent. Alia is also super talented. But she def has more opportunities than outsiders. I’m not saying Varun isn’t successful because of his talent and fans- am just saying he has better opportunities that’s all.
Okay Sarah I got your point 😋
He is the most matured actors in the industry sadly he is grossly underrated
It's a treat to watch him in movies as well as in interviews .
He is unique & sorted!! A bit shy! Lovely interview !
The most complete and the most underrated actor in Bollywood
Love this guy!! The way he carries himself!! Class
Akshaye is the best, love all his answers but he hit the nail with his answer about nepotism. So people can cry all they want about nepotism but the thing is that it is not new and not only in BW, it was there thousands of years ago and it is here to stay, nepotism is part of life, and I know some will say it is not fair, so deal with it.
What an interesting actor honest clever humble on another level YESSSS looking forward to seeing your brilliant work
One of India's finest actors - the very talented Akshaye Khanna.
The best part of interview is about nepotism. Answer is so correct and It will existing in every field or work place in different forms. In bollywood public is decided everything.
I love how he has not covered his head for this interview...
One of the most versatile and talented actors of his time yet underrated.
Man he is straight forward to his point. Good one
Such a lovely actor, who was kind of over shadowed by his father's tall stature, but we will get to see him more now in a different stream cinema....such an inspiration he is...
One of the most underrated actor.. Sad but true..
Man this guy would be a badass villian, his voice 🔥🔥🔥🌪
So happy to see him back! We really want to see you more Akshay...love and best wishes!!
It feels good listening to Akshaye speak.
It's always a pleasure to watch him on screen
