Akshaye Khanna’s subtle but impactful performance in Dhurandhar has been widely praised. Unlike his co stars, however, the actor has kept a low profile and stayed away from promotions and social media.
This is why fans were taken by surprise when an X (formerly Twitter) account in his name surfaced and shared a post thanking audiences for the film’s response. The post quickly went viral, leaving many wondering if Akshaye Khanna had finally joined social media.

The tweet read, "Hi guys! Recently I joined X and I’m honestly feeling pretty good being here. I’ll continue for a month and see if I can move forward or not — but for now, please welcome me! Thank you for all your support on #Dhurandhar."

But a closer look raised doubts. The account is not verified, has only around 150 followers, and was created back in September 2021. Because of this, many fans believe the account is not real.
Some users even asked the AI chatbot Grok for confirmation. The response said that Akshaye Khanna does not have any official social media accounts, including on X, and that the viral handle is not run by him or his team.
About Dhurandhar
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar is doing extremely well at the box office. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Rakesh Bedi, the film released on December 5 and has received strong reviews and audience support.
The film has earned Rs 239.25 crore so far, making it the third highest grossing film of 2025. Meanwhile, Akshaye Khanna’s entry as Rahman Dakait dressed in a black Pathani with a shawl over his shoulders instantly grabbed attention. His brief walk set to a viral Bahraini track by Filipperachi was enough to turn him into an internet sensation.
