Weekend Retreat/Akshay Khanna
From the struggling dubutant of Himalayputra to the mature lead hero of Taal, Akshay Khanna has certainly come a long away. Written off by detractors after the miserable performance of Doli Saja Ke Rakhna and Aa Ab Laut Chalen, Akshay's film career was on the verge of a virtual collapse. But a highly acclaimed performance in Subhash Ghai's Taal has put this talented actor in the reckoning at the box office once again.Resigned to the hectic pace of showbiz, the hard-working actor seems to have accepted a working weekend as a way of Bollyood life. However, the actor feels the need to boot up his energy every once in a while. ``I love to take off with my friends to Goa whenever possible. The beaches there are simply divine. But since extended weekends are rare, I end up going to a nearby beach such as Alibaug or Marve more often.'' A sports fiend, Akshay finds solace in squash and snooker while in town. Chatting on the net and listening to music are other sources ofrelaxation for this son of Vinod Khanna. Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
