The Bollywood film Dhurandhar is one of the success stories of the year 2025. Akshaye Khanna is flavour of the time, and a lot is being written about his film background as he is son of Vinod Khanna, who was a famous film star in his time. An almost unknown fact about Akshaye Khanna is that he has a very strong cricket connection also. He is the grandson of India's one of the most reputed and world-wide famous cricket commentator AFS Talyarkhan (popularly known as AFST or Bobby Talyarkhan). The present generation of cricket lovers might not have heard his name, but he has a significant place in the history of cricket broadcast in India, and many believed that AFS Talyarkhan was the ‘voice of cricket on All India Radio.’
First of all, about the relationship: Akshaye Khanna is related to the Talyarkhan family through his mother, Geetanjali (Vinod Khanna’s first wife) and Ardeshir Furdorji Sohrabji "Bobby" Talyarkhan was his maternal grandfather. He belonged to the Parsi community. It was in the late 1960s when Vinod Khanna had joined his college’s theatre group where he met the love of his life, Geetanjali Talyarkhan. Geetanjali was a model and came from a family of lawyers and businessmen.
