Film Window sat down with Akshit Sukhija, one of television’s most bankable young stars, ahead of his upcoming appearance in Let’s Play Blind on Hungama OTT. Known for his charming screen presence in shows like Shubharambh and Fanaa: Ishq Mein Marjawan, Akshit has always been the boy-next-door for fans, but this time, the actor let his guard down and spoke about life behind the lights, and it was far from sugar-coated.
The conversation began with a fiery remark on how some people dress to show off their bodies. Akshit pointed out that style is fine, but it should never cross the line into looking bad or vulgar. This wasn’t coming from a place of judgment, rather, from his belief that appearances should carry elegance, no matter how bold.
When relationships came up, a mischievous grin crept onto his face. Betrayal, he claimed, wasn’t his style, but if it had ever been done to him, revenge wasn’t something he shied away from. His dating history, he admitted, had variety, but no games of deceit.
What truly defines him, Akshit believes, is his blunt honesty. Those who know him personally have seen that there’s no filter between what he thinks and what he says. If something is wrong, he’d rather say it to your face than whisper it behind your back.
The actor’s eyes lit up when poker and teen patti were mentioned. Cards, it turns out, have been part of his life since college days. But even as he described them as stress-busters, a warning was given: gambling is a bad habit that should never become a profession. Play for fun, not for survival, that’s his motto.
On the topic of bold scenes with co-actress Kangana Sharma, Akshit revealed that nervousness was his first companion on set. Yet, he credits his production teams for never forcing actors beyond their comfort zones. For him, intimacy on screen only works when it feels natural to the audience, not when it’s pushed.
And then came the paparazzi talk, which turned into a candid moment about his friend Uorfi Javed. Akshit has watched her journey closely, witnessing both the hype and the heat she gets from shutterbugs. While he respects personal freedom, he believes that whether it’s a man or woman, intentional attention-grabbing should be handled with taste.
With Let’s Play Blind, Akshit Sukhija isn’t just ready to entertain on-screen, he’s also proving that behind the charming smile is a man unafraid to speak his mind, no matter how uncomfortable it might make others.
