Akshay’s co-actor recalls star playing cards with producer

Akshay Kumar's co-actor Paresh Ganatra recalls star playing cards with producer; says, 'In 5 minutes, he took Rs 14-15k'

In a recent interview, actor Paresh Ganatra recounted a hilarious incident from the set of ‘Aankhen’, where he observed Akshay Kumar’s mischievous side while showcasing his impressive card tricks. Ganatra’s fondness for Dharmendra shone through as he reminisced about a memorable day when the legendary actor invited him for a photograph, marking a cherished moment in his career.

Paresh Ganatra recently opened up about an anecdote from the sets of ‘Aankhen’, starring Akshay Kumar. The actor shared that Khiladi Kumar is a prankster and revealed one episode that happened on the sets. Here’s what the actor revealed during an interaction.

Remembering Akshay Kumar’s ‘Prank Master’ days

In an interview with Hindi Rush, Paresh Ganatra spoke about shooting ‘Aankhen’ with Akshay Kumar, validating the star as a prank master. The ‘Jolly LLB 3’ actor never pulled a prank on him, but Ganatra saw his ferocious card-playing skills. “Akshay never pulled a prank with me, but while shooting for Aankhen, he used to play cards with all of us,” he revealed. He remembered a quick win where Kumar swept the producer of the film out of money in mere hands.”And within five minutes, he took Rs 14-15K from the producer in just three games,” Ganatra said, quoting Kumar’s authoritative threat: “Khelna bhi maat har jayega.”

Paresh Ganatra talks about Dharmendra

In the same interview, Paresh Ganatra talked about veteran actor Dharmendra. He stated, “Numerous stars don’t like you requesting a photo, and that you must comprehend. Therefore, I never crossed that space, and I never requested a photo with any of the stars.” He further shared, “I just have a photo with Dharmendra ji because I just love him, and he called me for the photo. There were some actors who were taking photos with him, and I was standing aside, and he noticed me, and he called me for the photo.”

Paresh Ganatra’s projects

The actor has worked in multiple movies and TV shows. He is majorly known for his role in the film ‘Welcome’, in which he played the character of Purushottam Bhan “Pappu,” Municipal Officer.
