The year 2025 proved to be a monumental one for Bollywood, with two films dominating the box office and the cultural conversation: 'Chhaava' starring Vicky Kaushal and 'Dhurandhar' headlined by Ranveer Singh. While the leads garnered much attention, a common thread wove these cinematic giants together—the powerhouse performer, Akshaye Khanna. Riding high on this dual success, the acclaimed actor recently hosted a special religious ceremony at his private residence in Alibaug, a moment captured and shared widely on social media.
A Sacred Ceremony for Peace and Positivity
A video from the intimate gathering at Akshaye Khanna's Alibaug home has captivated fans online. Reports confirm that the actor arranged for a Vastu Shanti hawan to be performed at his property. This traditional ritual is believed to invoke peace, positivity, and spiritual harmony within a space. In the circulating clips, Khanna is seen fully immersed in the prayers, participating earnestly in the ceremonial offerings.
The video was officially posted on Instagram by priest Shivam Mhatre, who had the honour of conducting the puja. He shared his experience in Marathi, writing, "I had the fortune of performing a traditional and devotional puja at actor Akshaye Khanna’s residence. His calm nature, simplicity, and positive energy made the experience truly special." Mhatre didn't stop there; he extended his praise to Khanna's professional achievements, highlighting the actor's exceptional year.
Netizens Applaud the Actor's Content Demeanor
The online reaction to the pooja video was overwhelmingly positive, with fans and followers flooding the comments with admiration for Khanna's serene and grounded personality. One social media user pointed to his incredible box office year, noting, "My man is chilling after delivering 2 500+ crs blockbusters in a single year." Another comment humorously observed, "Bro acted in two of the biggest Hindi films of the time & went on Alibag to chill."
Many were drawn to his apparent inner peace. "He seems content," wrote one user. A longer tribute read, "I aspire to be like this man. Not performative, not attention hungry, content and man has quiet confidence that shows in his aura. Does his job with perfection and disappears. No overactive pr or anything. Loveee him." This sentiment echoed widely, reinforcing Khanna's image as a artist who lets his work speak volumes.
A Year of Defining Performances
Priest Shivam Mhatre's caption aptly summarized the actor's stellar 2025. He called Akshaye Khanna the definition of 'class' in acting, citing a series of powerful roles. The praise began with his attention-grabbing performance in 'Chhaava', followed by the intense portrayal in the box office juggernaut 'Dhurandhar'. Mhatre also recalled his restrained yet compelling work in 'Drishyam 2' and his realistic act in 'Section 375'. Through this careful curation of roles, Khanna has cemented a unique and deeply respected place in the audience's heart.
In 'Dhurandhar', which continues to rewrite box office records, Khanna is widely believed to have stolen the show despite Ranveer Singh leading the film. His portrayal of Rehman Dakait has become iconic, further cemented by a viral moment where his impromptu dance to the Arabic track 'FA9LA' by rapper Flipperachi took social media by storm.
Looking ahead, Akshaye Khanna is already set for his next project. He will be seen in the upcoming film 'Mahakali', scheduled for release next year. Furthermore, fans can anticipate the sequel to this year's mega-hit, as 'Dhurandhar 2' is also confirmed for a 2026 release, promising more cinematic brilliance from the versatile actor.
