Akshaye Khanna

Biography

Akshaye Khanna is an Indian actor who was born in Mumbai in 1975 into a family of actors and trained at the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Institute. He made his Bollywood debut in 1997 with Himalay Putra, and his next release, J. P. Dutta's Border (1997), earned him a Filmfare Best Debut Award and a Best Supporting Actor nomination. After several unsuccessful films, he was praised for Aa Ab Laut Chalen (1999) and appeared in Subhash Ghai's Taal (1999). Dil Chahta Hai (2001) proved a turning point: it succeeded critically and commercially, and he won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor award in 2002. Further acclaim came for a con artist role in Humraaz (2002) and for comedy hits including Hulchul (2004). Other credits include the 2008 thriller Race and No Problem (2010).
