Akshaye Khanna

Akshaye Khanna's two-decade -long career is testimony to the fact that he is a fantastic performer. Even though he has never craved attention, he admits that in a profession like acting, dealing with the lack of love is difficult. The star believes that an artiste eventually only wants his work to be appreciated. "Deep down, that's all you really want," he says, adding, "You may not be comfortable with certain forms of appreciation or love, but you do want it. Once appreciation, work, love or attention starts slipping away, it's terrible. As much as I say I am uncomfortable with too much attention, in essence, that's what I, and every artiste, works for."
