Akshaye Khanna, through numerous ups and downs, has accomplished
20 years in the movie industry. This year saw the ill-fated death of his father
and veteran actor Vinod Khanna, and in an interview with a famous tabloid,
Akshaye expressed his wish to have been able to work with his dad.
"I can’t remember a film that was offered to me where I
got the chance to work with him. I worked with my dad in my first film (Himalay
Putra), but it would have been nice to have worked with him after I was a
little mature and experienced as an actor. I wish I had that chance,"
Akshaye disclosed.
When we had gotten the chance to interview the actor,
Akshaye got open about the past 20 years in Bollywood. He told, "It's been
beautiful. I can't say that I have any regrets, of course, one does stupid
things. Especially when you start work at a very young age - when you are not
mature enough to understand the responsibilities of being a professional actor.
I was an especially immature person. I was 19 and I was not mature enough to
understand my own responsibility. So yeah, I wish I was more mature, that's the
way it was."
Akshaye further added, "I think as a journey...we've
all done good films and bad films, some terrible films but I think that's going
to happen in the future also. Nobody makes 100 percent correct choices except
for Aamir Khan but everybody...we've been part of good films, we've been part
of bad films. Some performances maybe liked, some maybe disliked but the focus
should always be on the creative process. If one distances oneself from getting
too affected by failure or too affected by success, so both things are easy or
hard to deal with. They both have to be taken with a little pinch of salt and
it's not easy. And I'm not just talking about the acting profession, I'm
talking generally. In any profession, what one does - the focus should be on
that. Yes, success will come, failure will come, there will be downs, there
will be ups - that's part of life. As long as you want to keep the focus to
improve one's self and keep the creative process going, if that's the focus
then you will always be a winner."
Akshaye will next be seen in Ittefaq which is being directed
by Abhay Chopra and also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha. Ittefaq is
scheduled to release on November 3, 2017.
