Old interview will leave you surprised
In an old interview of Akshaye with Simi Garewal, actor makes a surprising confession. He openly says that he never saw himself as a great performer. “Strangely enough, I’ve never believed that I’m a very good actor at all. I’m competent… maybe good,” he said.
Comparing himself with the best
Simi Garewal looked puzzled and asked why he felt that way. Akshaye explained that he compares himself with the best actors in the world, not just in India. He said his aim is simple: “I try my best to make a shot look as natural as possible.”
Acting comes naturally to him
When asked about his acting process, Akshaye revealed that he does not follow heavy preparation or method acting. He said he does not have to struggle much to perform. “It just comes very naturally to me,” he shared.
Views on cinema and longevity
In a previous interview with ETimes, Akshaye spoke about the reality of the film industry. He said evolution is very important and creative stagnation can be dangerous. “Without a good script and director, you are nothing,” he stated. Calling acting an insecure profession, he added that filmmaking is a team effort. He also admitted that every actor has a lifespan decided by the audience. Still, he said with gratitude, “People still want to watch me.”
