Mumbai: While basking in the success of his latest film Dhurandhar, actor Akshaye Khanna chose a moment of quiet reflection away from the limelight. The actor recently conducted a Vastu Shanti hawan in his home at Alibaug, in order to find peace, positivity and spiritual harmony. Ashakay was a very private person, and this would have been a rare insight into his personal life by the fans.
A Quiet Spiritual Moment at Alibaug
The Vastu Shanti hawan was conducted at Akshaye Khanna’s coastal home in Alibaug. One of the videos of the ceremony made it into social media and became immediately noticeable, particularly because it was released at a time when the actor is being widely acclaimed in the work he produces.
The ritual was shared on Instagram by priest Shivam Mhatre, who performed the puja. In his post in Marathi he wrote that it was a special occasion and that Akshaye was calm and uncomplicated and full of positive energy and that this made the ceremony very fulfilling.
Praise for an Actor Known for Restraint
Along with speaking about the ritual, Shivam Mhatre also reflected on Akshaye Khanna’s acting journey. He termed the actor as an icon of status and reserve, and he remarked how people resonated with his work in movies.
He emphasized how Akshaye played a powerful role in Chhaava, and then his intense performance in Dhurandhar as Rehman Dakait, his restrained performance in Drishyam 2 and his lifelike role in Section 375. The priest claims that Akshaye has chosen his meaningful roles carefully, and this has assisted him in creating a distinctive and revered niche within the Indian cinema.
Dhurandhar and a Standout Performance
Akshaye Khanna has been receiving special praise for his role as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar, particularly for the much talked about song FA9LA. His act gave the film a depth and intensity, and he reinforced his reputation as an actor who can do strong work without necessarily getting attention.
Interestingly, 2025 saw two major hits Chhaava starring Vicky Kaushal and Dhurandhar starring Ranveer Singh, both featuring Akshaye Khanna in key roles, making it a standout year for him.
Co Star Shares Insight into Akshaye’s Work Ethic
The actor was mentioned in an interview with Zoom by Danish Pandor, who appeared in Dhurandhar as a cousin of Akshaye Khanna. He said Akshaye is so reserved and concentrated, that the moment he is on the set, he meets everyone with a polite smile and then devotes himself fully to his job.
Danish told that after the camera starts rolling Akshaye is a different man and knows perfectly what must be done and is not distracted anymore. He added that the actor’s discipline and ability to stay present on set are qualities that every performer can learn from.
What Lies Ahead for Akshaye Khanna
Following the success of Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna is set to appear next in Mahakali, which is scheduled for release in 2026. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him return to the screen with yet another thoughtful and nuanced performance.
At a time when many stars remain constantly in the public eye, Akshaye Khanna continues to walk his own path. His recent Vastu Shanti hawan reflects the same quiet grace and grounded approach that define both his personal life and his enduring cinematic journey.
