Akshay revealed that he could not even hold a conversation with his fiance for five minutes, which really started to stress him out. 

He said that there was nothing wrong with his ex-fiance, but he just did not feel comfortable talking with her. They were just two different people and Akshay could not imagine spending the rest of his life with her, which is why he had to break off the engagement.
