At that time, I felt like saying, 'Akshaye Khanna, I'm single, I'm single, oh my god Akshaye Khanna,' that was the vibe. So I have always liked that Akshaye. He is very sweet, charming, and a good person. He is a brilliant actor, he is absolutely the right person to go to Hollywood because his acting is amazing.'
