Anup Soni, widely recognized for his work on Crime Patrol, has shared insights into his past role as an acting instructor for Akshaye Khanna. Soni expressed pride and satisfaction in witnessing Khanna's evolution as an actor, particularly highlighting his versatility in recent films like Chhaava and Dhurandhar.
Soni detailed how his teaching career began serendipitously after moving to Mumbai, inspired by an interview about acting coaches. He contacted Kishore Namit Kapoor and soon started teaching at his institute, drawing from his own training at the National School of Drama. This led to him conducting specialized voice classes, which attracted a notable list of students.
His voice classes, held in a hall near Juhu Beach, saw participation from actors such as Fardeen Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Sonali Bendre, and Divya Dutta. Soni eventually decided to step back from extensive teaching to focus on his acting career, balancing his commitments to both crafts.
