Meanwhile, in an earlier podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, Ameesha Patel praised Akshaye Khanna’s versatility as an actor. She said that he can easily ace roles that are completely unexpected and outside the kind of characters people usually associate with him. “Akshaye comes, does a one-off, completely out-of-the-box character which you would never imagine. He will do something that you don’t picture him in, which you actually feel ki ye Akshaye Khanna ke bas ki baat nahi hai. It’s not meant for him,” she said.
