Why Akshay Khanna and Karisma Kapoor didn’t tie the knot

Why Akshay Khanna

Bollywood actor Akshay Khanna is currently in the spotlight due to his film “Dhurandhar”. Amid this, Indian media revisited an interesting chapter from his past, revealing that he was once reportedly set to marry renowned actress Karisma Kapoor, though the marriage never materialized.

According to reports, Akshay and Karisma became close friends following Karisma’s breakup with Ajay Devgn, and their friendship even sparked marriage talks.

 Karisma’s father, Randhir Kapoor, was reportedly supportive and intended to discuss the alliance with Akshay’s father, Vinod Khanna.

However, Karisma’s mother, Babita, opposed the match, preferring her daughter focus on her flourishing career rather than marriage at the time.

Akshay Khanna, known for keeping his personal life private, has never publicly discussed this alleged romance. Karisma later married industrialist Sanjay Kapoor, a marriage that eventually ended in divorce.

Over his six-decade career, he starred in award-winning films such as Sholay, Yaadon Ki Baraat, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Naukar Biwi Ka, Phool Aur Patthar, and Phool Aur Patli.

Born as Dharmendra Kewal Krishan Deol in a village in Ludhiana, Punjab, he married Prakash Kaur at the age of 19 in 1954 before entering the film industry, and later married actress Hema Malini.
