When heroes and heroines talk about their crushes, it always creates interest among fans. Especially when a star hero reveals the name of his favourite actress, the topic quickly becomes popular on social media.

Akhil Akkineni is one such hero who has a huge female fan following. Akkineni heroes are known for their good looks and stylish appearance. From Akkineni Nageswara Rao to Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, the family has always enjoyed a special place among female fans. But do you know which actress Akhil Akkineni had a crush on. Interestingly, it is not a Telugu heroine but a popular Bollywood actress.

In an old interview, the anchor asked Akhil whether he had a crush on anyone. At first, Akhil said that he did not have a crush on anyone. When the anchor asked him about his favourite actresses, he again said that there was no one in particular.

The anchor then asked him whether he had never liked any heroine since childhood. After thinking for a few moments, Akhil finally revealed the name of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.

His answer surprised the anchor, who said that many people often mention Deepika's name when asked about their favourite actress. She also revealed that Akhil's cousin Sushanth had mentioned Deepika Padukone as his crush.

Akhil was surprised to hear this and asked whether Sushanth had also said Deepika's name.

The old interview is now attracting attention on social media. Meanwhile after back to back flops Akhil has recently been in the news following the success of his film Lenin. Now the actor is also busy with multiple projects.
