Govinda’s Wife Sunita Ahuja Calls Akshaye Khanna Her New Favourite After Dhurandhar

Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna is enjoying a remarkable year, marked by two vastly different roles that have reminded audiences of his quiet intensity and unmatched screen presence. After turning heads

as Aurangzeb in Chhaava, the actor followed it up with a gritty and menacing performance as Rehman Dakait in Aditya Dhar’s spy action thriller Dhurandhar. While the film’s ensemble cast—including Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun and Arjun Rampal—has been widely appreciated, it is Akshaye who has emerged as the biggest talking point on social media.

So strong has the reaction been that Akshaye Khanna has now found an unexpected admirer in Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja. Known for her candid, no-filter persona, Sunita recently heaped praise on the actor, calling him her new favourite after watching Dhurandhar.

‘Kamaal Kar Diya Akshaye Khanna Ne’

Earlier today, Sunita Ahuja was spotted at the airport, where she paused for a cheerful interaction with the paparazzi. When asked about Dhurandhar, she couldn’t hide her excitement and openly gushed over Akshaye’s performance. Sharing her thoughts, she said, “Dhurandhar kya picture thi yaar. Kamaal kar diya Akshaye Khanna ne yaar, maza aa gaya. Kya sundar lag raha hai, kya handsome. Comeback ho gaya hai uska. Mera favourite. Ranveer Singh toh mera favourite hai, par ab Akshay Kumar bhi, Akshaye Khanna sorry. Mast kaam kiya. Maza aa gaya picture dekh ke.”
Her comments quickly went viral, with fans applauding her honesty and echoing her sentiments about Akshaye’s screen presence. Many agreed that the actor’s portrayal of Rehman Dakait has added a darker, more compelling edge to the film.

Fans Echo Sunita Ahuja’s Sentiment

In the comments section, several social media users expressed their agreement with Sunita’s views. One fan wrote, “His acting level Hits different in dhurandhar movie 😍🔥,” while another commented, “Akshay khanna legend🔥.” A third user praised Sunita herself, saying, “I like her, she’s so bindass and you can tell whatever she is saying is genuine and heartfelt! She doesn’t mince her words. Love her 🙌💯.”

Adding to the buzz around Akshaye, a separate video of the actor also surfaced online today. Shared by a priest on social media, the clip shows Akshaye performing a Vastu Shanti puja at his Alibaug residence. Dressed simply in a white kurta and blue jeans, the actor appeared calm and composed, drawing further admiration from fans.

Looking ahead, Akshaye Khanna shows no signs of slowing down. He is set to portray Shukracharya in Prashanth Varma’s Mahakali and will reprise his role as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar 2, continuing what many are calling one of the strongest phases of his career.
