Akshaye at celebrity cricket match

Choksi donated a 6,000 diamond-encrusted cricket ball set in 82.2 gm gold towards charity amidst thundering applause.
Mehul Choksi, Chairman, Gitanjali Jewels, can very well change the adage 'heart of gold' to 'heart of diamonds' with his large heartedness and penchant for throwing glittering bashes, be it in India or Leeds, Yorkshire. The non-stop partying began with him visiting a museum having Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's photographs with none other than Ash herself. Then the party moved onto the cricket field with a celebrity match played by Bollywood stars, Saif Ali Khan being a clear favourite. Amongst the spectators were Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan and Ash and Shilpa Shetty. Choksi donated a 6,000 diamond-encrusted cricket ball set in 82.2 gm gold towards charity amidst thundering applause. What else can be expected from the diamond czar but a diamond ball? Salman Khan, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna enjoyed the match. There was a lot of excitement later on for the evening bash to celebrate Shilpa Shetty's birthday at Victoria Quarters. "I decided to throw a birthday party for Shilpa here in Leeds as she is now almost a citizen of the UK given her popularity and fame," said Choksi. The party was smash hit with him gifting a necklace to Shilpa as a birthday present. Shilpa was very moved by his gesture and thanked him and the people of Yorkshire for making her birthday an extra special one. Shilpa's parents were there too to celebrate their daughter's birthday. The party had most of Bollywood's stars present.

He usually doesn't like cricket but must be having fun with new friend Salman.

I hope it's Akshaye Khanna bcoz I find that Akshaye Khanna is the hottest guy! As for Akshay Kumar, he already belongs to Twinkle Khanna! And, for Akshaye Khanna, he is the most eligible bachlor in India! So, Miss Kangana Ranaut, consider the charming grins...Akshaye Khanna as your future guy!

Akshaye Khanna was funny as 'Shiven' in Salaam-e-Ishq! His performance in the film was exceptional and outstanding!

Do you mean that Akshaye Khanna was having fun with his new friend in the form of Salman Khan at celebrity cricket match? Or, with someone else with the same name...Salman?
