Mini Biography
Akshay Khanna is son of the Bollywood star turned politician Vinod Khanna. He
made his debut in Bollywood with the movie "Himalayputra", went without much
success at box office. Akshaye Khanna gave remarkable performance in his next
movie "Border", directed by J. P. Dutta and received a couple of awards for his
performance. After that a string of flop films followed. Perhaps it was his
imprudent choice of films such as "Mohabbat", "Kudrat", "Lawaris", "Love You
Hamesha" and "Dahek" that turned the tide against Akshaya Khanna. Then, there
came a ray of hope in the form of Rishi Kapoor's "Aa Ab Laut Chale". Though the
film did average business but he was praised for his acting in this film. Since
then he has given remarkable performance in a number of movies like "Dil Chahta
Hai", "Deewar", "Gandhi, My Father", "Hulchul", "Humraaj" and Hungama. Akshay
Khanna won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for his performance in the
film "Dil Chahta Hai". In his recent released film "Gandhi, My Father" he
portrayed the character of Harilal Gandhi, Harilal was eldest son of Mahatma
Gandhi. He was praised by critics for his performance and was mentioned as his
best performance so far.
