If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’d know that Akshaye Khanna has been winning the internet with his remarkable performance, especially the aura he brought to his recent release, Dhurandhar. With no social media presence of his own, fans are naturally curious about the actor. So, when he appeared in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, it offered a rare glimpse into his life. From his simple eating habits to his daily routine, Akshaye spoke candidly about it all.
Akshaye Khanna Opens About His Simple Diet & Love For Sweets
In talks with Bollywood Hungama, Akshaye Khanna revealed that he follows no strict or fancy diet. Whether he is shooting or simply staying at home, his diet stays the same. In fact, he doesn’t even have breakfast. For years, the actor has stuck to just two meals a day—lunch and dinner—with nothing in between.
He shared that his favourite food is dal chawal and he loves bhindi! For lunch, he usually eats dal, rice, vegetables, along with a chicken or fish dish. Dinner is typically a simple, home-cooked affair, consisting of roti, sabzi, and a chicken dish. In short, while he doesn’t follow a stereotypical diet per se, he does have disciplined meals.
But hey, indulgence is also necessary! In the interview, he revealed that he can eat anything sweet. When asked about his favourite, he shared he loves to indulge in a cake and lychee is his favourite fruit.

Work Hard & Rest Harder!
Akshaye Khanna also revealed that despite having a sweet tooth, he doesn’t snack between meals. You won’t find him reaching for even a biscuit between lunch and dinner, just a cup of tea in the evening and he is good to go! Our favourite moment from the interview was when Akshaye revealed that he sleeps for 10 hours a day. For him, giving the body ample rest is just as important as working, and we love this philosophy.
