Mumbai, June 22 (NationPress) Bollywood actress Chitrangda Singh opened up about the evolution of her relationship with Akshay Kumar over the years.
Having recently shared the screen with the superstar in the film “Housefull 5,” Singh disclosed that what initially began as a professional relationship has blossomed into a genuine friendship.
Reflecting on her latest experience working with Akshay, Chitrangda stated in an interview with IANS, “He loves to pull pranks on set to keep himself entertained. He works so much that he gets bored. But he is a wonderful person. His energy remains constant. Our previous collaboration was quite formal, but now we share a friendly bond.”
She also emphasized how supportive Akshay has been, both personally and professionally. “I feel comfortable calling him anytime for advice. Even on set, he provided me with valuable guidance. I often found myself asking him—should I approach this differently? Is it too much? Should I tone it down?” she expressed, acknowledging his approachable and mentoring demeanor.
Chitrangda had previously collaborated with the “Kesari” actor in the 2011 comedy “Desi Boyz.” Directed by Rohit Dhawan, son of renowned director David Dhawan, the film also featured John Abraham and Deepika Padukone.
The actress shared her initial apprehensions before entering the comedy genre. Recalling her decision, Chitrangda said, “I remember leaving Sajid’s office after giving my consent. While driving home, I questioned whether I had made the right choice.” She admitted that her main concern wasn’t just about audience reception but also about fitting into a new genre. “I feared that no matter how hard I tried, if the audience didn’t accept me, I could jeopardize the affection and connection I had built with them. That was a real concern,” she revealed.
“Housefull 5” premiered in theaters on June 6, 2025.
