New Delhi: Classic actor Akshaye Khanna, who is known for his impressive and subtle performances once confessed to being smitten by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's beauty. One of his old interviews is now doing the rounds where he said, "you can't take eyes off her". 

During one of the seasons of the controversial celebrity chat show Koffee With Karan, host Karan Johar welcomed 'Ittefaq' star cast including Akshaye Khanna, Sonakshi Sinha and Sidharth Malhotra. So, during the famous rapid-fire round, KJo asked Akshaye about the sexiest girl in the business according to him.

Akshaye Khanna gave a quick reply saying, “Ash (Aishwarya Rai). I can’t take my eyes off her every time I meet her. It’s embarrassing for men. She must be used to it (people staring at her). But I’m not used to not being able to take my eyes off somebody. You just keep staring at her like a lunatic.”

In fact, not just him, Sonakshi was quick to add, "Not only guys. Even I am not able to take my eyes off her. She is damn stunning."

Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya featured in late legendary actor Rishi Kapoor's 'Aa Ab Laut Chalen' which marked his directorial debut. Later, the duo worked in Subhash Ghai's Taal.
