Simi Garewal recalls the time she peered inside the enigma that is Akshaye Khanna

Simi Garewal shares a throwback interview where Akshaye Khanna opens up about his introversion, sensitivity, and the walls he builds around himself.

"I may have become slightly better at making them look a little transparent, but they are still there. - Akshaye Khanna"

Mumbai, Dec 19

Despite getting a massive amount of love for "Dhurandhar", actor Akshaye Khanna, a known introvert, has decided to stay away from social media and media light, enjoying this time only with himself.

Amidst all the praise being showered upon him, veteran actress Simi Garewal recalled the time she got a chance to peer inside the enigma that is Akshaye Khanna during her chat show "Rendezvous with Simi Garewal".

Talking about the walls he tends to build around people, the 'Dil Chahta Hai' actor revealed, "I may have become slightly better at making them look a little transparent, but they are still there".

When asked if he is a soulful and vulnerable person, Akshaye replied with a 'yeah'.

"I am very sensitive to people who I consider close to me. Slightest thing there and I am like "Oh God", it hurts me," explained Akshaye.

He added that he is extremely cautious about not hurting other people; however, he sometimes ends up doing it anyway.

Akshaye shared, "I regret it later, and I vow never to do it again, and sometimes you slip up. Since I am so sensitive, I am very cautious about others' sensitivity."

Revealing that he is someone who has no hesitation in saying sorry, the 'Hungama' actor added, "It is such a nice thing, and it's so easy, it's so freeing."

Akshaye further explained that he is not an introvert by choice, and loves to get to know people; it is just something that does not come naturally to him.

"I like meeting people and getting to know people, it is just that I do not have the skills to do it, that's it. There is a big difference between not wanting to and being closed as opposed to not being able to", Akshaye claimed.

Dropping the throwback clip on her IG, Simi captioned it, "He's Akshaye Khanna. A superb actor. He's also an introvert. It was rewarding to break through the walls that surround him in our throwback Rendezvous. A man of few words, he didn’t evade. He let me peer inside the enigma..(sic)."

Simi Garewal's show was legendary for these kinds of revelations. Akshaye Khanna is a gem of an actor – underrated and brilliant. His performance in 'Dhurandhar' was mind-blowing. Glad he's staying true to himself and avoiding the social media circus.

Respect for him staying away from media glare. In today's world of overexposure, it's refreshing to see an artist who lets his work speak for itself. More power to you, Akshaye sir!

While I admire his talent, I do wish he'd engage a bit more with his fans. A simple Instagram post now and then wouldn't hurt. His choice is absolutely valid, but a small connection would be nice for those who admire his craft.

"I do not have the skills to do it" – this line hit home. It's not aloofness, it's a genuine struggle. We need to be more understanding of people like him. Brilliant actor, and seems like a thoughtful person too.

His honesty about saying sorry is so important. In our culture, we often see apologizing as a sign of weakness. He's showing it's a strength. More life lessons from our actors, please! 😊
