Talking about him, the actress said, “Akshay Sir has defined an era in cinema which, by far, has been my most favorite. His films like Hera Pheri, Welcome, De Dhana Dhan, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Garam Masala .. they’ve been the most iconic films for me. I could watch it 100 times on repeat, they’ve made me laugh so much.”
“He is the most professionally involved person I’ve come across … he remembers everything , he gives the most fun ideas.. I’ve even heard from my dad that he keeps the set fresh and light, is always pulling a prank, and never takes himself too seriously,” she added.
