Farah Khan admitted she once avoided working with Akshaye Khanna in the 1990s because he "wasn't a nice person on set." Farah said she was "traumatised" after a few films with him. She explained, "He himself had said that he was losing his hair. He was constantly irritable." However, she added that Akshaye became "very chill" after 'Dil Chahta Hai'.
