Talking to TOI, Akshaye once said that the situation was like a pianist losing his fingers. He mentioned that it is such a thing that would continue to bother a person if they cannot come to terms with it. Akshaye said that this was heartbreaking for him, just like it would be for a sportsman if he ended up losing their knees. Akshaye said:

"It started happening at such a young age, and it was like a pianist losing his fingers. It almost felt like that in those days. I mean, until you truly come to terms with it, it keeps bothering you. When you wake up in the morning, looking at the papers, and you realise, 'I can't read that. What's written? I need glasses.' It would affect you, right?"

Whether Akshaye Khanna opted for a hair transplant or not was unknown. According to several online sources, he actually had some hair treatments done. Akshaye never really talked about the same except for the fact that losing hair as an actor actually impacted his mental health.
