Akshaye was once rumoured to be dating Aishwarya Rai and Riya Sen for some time in his early days in Bollywood. He was also in a serious relationship with Tara Sharma and was even rumoured to be engaged to her. It was also speculated that Akshaye was pretty serious about her, but due to some reasons, their relationship didn’t work out and they had parted ways. The Hulchul actor had never addressed the breakup and it got cast away as a rumour.
In an interview with the Hindustan Times, when Akshaye was asked why he is still unmarried, the actor had given a very logical reason for the same and had said:
"I don’t see myself (getting married), I’m not marriage material, as they say. I’m not cut out for that kind of… (we ask if it’s commitment)… not that, but that kind of life. It’s a commitment, but a drastic lifestyle change. Marriage changes everything. I want full control over my life. When you share your life with somebody else, you can’t have full control. You have to give a lot of control away. You share each other’s lives."
Well, it seems like Akshaye is quite clear about his thoughts on marriage.
