Akshaye Khanna has consistently maintained a private personal life, which is why his opinions on marriage still fascinate many. As he gains more attention, following Dhurandhar‘s admirers have begun looking back at his past interviews to understand his decision to remain unmarried.
His Early Stand On Marriage
Years ago, in a conversation with Anuradha Prasad, Akshaye shared that he did want to settle down someday, but only if it felt right. He believed that marriage is meaningful only when it grows from the right relationship. Akshaye said people often marry because their families expect it, and that such decisions do not lead to a healthy start.

In his words, Akshay said, “You need to find the right girl for yourself before deciding to get married. It is wrong to marry for the sake of it, thinking that your family is putting pressure on you, and you did it. That’s wrong. I am hoping it will happen one day.”
His belief was simple: Marriage should come from conviction, not pressure.

Akshaye’s Shift Toward Choosing a Life Alone
Over the years, Akshaye’s thoughts changed. In an interview with the Hindustan Times, he said, “I don’t see myself (getting married), I’m not marriage material, as they say. I’m not cut out for that kind of… (we ask if it’s commitment) not that, but that kind of life. It’s a commitment, but a drastic lifestyle change. Marriage changes everything. I want full control over my life. When you share your life with somebody else, you can’t have full control. You have to give a lot of control away. You share each other’s lives.”
