One of Bollywood’s most underappreciated performers, Akshaye Khanna, stunned the audience in Chhaava by portraying the cruelest Mughal ruler, Aurangzeb. Vicky Kaushal, who portrayed Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in the most recent historical action drama film, is a forceful actor who really stands tall. Khanna conveyed the brutality of the Mughal monarch without using a lot of words.

The crowd had fallen in love with his powerful performance. In any event, the actor has already shown his acting abilities. Since his 1997 debut in the film Himalay Putra, the actor has seen a number of highs and lows in his career. Here are some well-known films that were successful but did not provide him with the credit he so richly deserves.

The Hits And Failures Of Akshaye Khanna
The fading star, who portrayed Siddharth Sinha in the popular movie Dil Chahta Hai, was unable to achieve the same level of post-film recognition as Aaamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan. Khanna became known as a “good actor” when his other well-known films, like Hungama, Taal, Hulchul, Border (1997), and LOC: Kargil, became cult favorites.

However, with the release of Gali Gali Chor Hai in 2012, he abruptly disappeared from the entertainment industry for four years. After his 2016 return with Dishoom, he took a professional hiatus, citing personal concerns. He has been attempting to carve out a place for himself in the Hindi cinema business ever since. In between releases, Akshaye Khanna starred in films like Section 375, Drishyam 2, and The Accidental Prime Minister before scoring a hat-trick with Chhaava.

Akshaye Khanna said Mid Day, “It started happening at such a young age and it was like a pianist losing his fingers,” in reference to how his profession was impacted by premature hair loss. Back then, it almost felt like way. That is, until you really accept it and it no longer bothers you. You know, getting up in the morning, glancing at the newspaper, and asking yourself, “What’s written? I can’t read that.” I need glasses. You would be impacted, wouldn’t you? How am I doing? My eyes aren’t functioning.

“You may be a football player, cricket player, or athlete who realizes that knee surgery may be necessary. It’s devastating because you may lose a year or two of your career. As I said before, it’s like a pianist losing their fingers because, as an actor, appearance is crucial. In particular, this face. I mean, you can still hide this bodily part or anything. It’s catastrophic at 19–20. It’s devastating and may destroy your mental health,” he said.

Concerning Akshaye Khanna’s Wealth, Real Estate, and Exotic Vehicles
The actor’s net worth was enormous after over 28 years of labor in the business. Akshaye Khanna is notable for having a net worth of Rs 167 crore.

The actor’s fee for playing Aurangzeb in Chhaava was Rs 2.5 crore.
