With critics hailing his performance and fans clamouring that he deserves an Oscar, curiosity has surged, and the first question on everyone’s lips is: What exactly is Akshaye Khanna’s net worth?
Born on March 28, 1975 to Vinod Khanna and Geetanjali, Akshaye inherited a flair for acting. His elder brother, Rahul Khanna, is also an actor, while his maternal grandfather, Bobby AFS Talyarkhan, was a renowned cricket commentator, which meant Akshaye’s childhood was steeped in both sports and the arts. He studied at Bombay International School and the Lawrence School in Ooty.
Akshaye Khanna made his film debut in 1997 with Himalaya Putra, starring alongside his father. Although the film had only moderate box office success, he captured attention with his role as Dharamveer Singh Bhan in Border. He then appeared in popular films such as Taal and Dil Chahta Hai.
Over time, Akshaye also explored comedy, featuring in films like Hulchul, Hungama, and 36 China Town. He impressed audiences in intense dramas including Gandhi My Father and Humraaz before taking a four-year hiatus in 2010.
He returned with impactful performances in Dishoom (2016), Mom (2017), Ittefaq (2017), and Section 375 (2019), earning praise from both fans and critics alike.
This year, he stunned audiences with his portrayal of Aurangzeb in Vicky Kaushal’s Chhava and received acclaim for his negative role as Rehman in Dhurandhar, proving his enduring versatility.
According to media reports, Akshaye Khanna currently has a net worth of Rs 167 crore. He charges around Rs 2.5 crore per film, earning additionally from royalties and endorsements. His income has surged further thanks to hits like Drishyam 2, Chhava, and Dhurandhar.
Akshaye Khanna owns a sea-facing bungalow in Juhu, valued at Rs 35 crore, and a luxurious residence in Malabar Hill worth Rs 60 crore. He also possesses a farmhouse in Alibaug, ideal for weekend retreats, and owns the Everest Building Apartments in Tardeo, Central Mumbai. Reports suggest he has additional property investments in Pune and Delhi.
Despite his wealth, Akshaye Khanna leads a lifestyle marked by simplicity and prudence. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he does not indulge in a lavish car collection; his vehicles include a BMW 7 Series. His properties alone account for over Rs 100 crore, forming nearly two-thirds of his total net worth.
