Akshaye Khanna (born 28 March 1975) is an Indian actor predominantly active in Hindi films. Khanna is known for his versatility,[1][2] which has secured him numerous accolades including two Filmfare Awards.[3]
Born to actor Vinod Khanna, he made his acting debut with Himalay Putra (1997). His next release, J. P. Dutta's war drama Border (1997) emerged as a critical and commercial success, earning him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.[4] Khanna replicated this success with the romance Taal (1999), the comedy-drama Dil Chahta Hai (2001) which won him the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, the comedies Hungama (2003) and Hulchul (2004), the murder mystery 36 China Town (2006), the action thriller Race (2008), and the heist comedy Tees Maar Khan (2010). He drew critical praise for featuring in the thrillers Humraaz and Deewangee (both 2002), the biopic Gandhi, My Father (2007) and the action thriller Aakrosh (2010).
Following a four-year hiatus since 2012, Khanna took on supporting roles in the action-comedy Dishoom (2016) and the 2017 thrillers Mom and Ittefaq. He earned renewed acclaim for portraying a defence lawyer in the legal drama Section 375 (2019) and a cop in the crime thriller Drishyam 2 (2022), which became his highest-grossing release.[5] He has since played Aurangzeb in the historical film Chhaava (2025), gaining wider critical recognition.[6]
