Abhiruchi Cookery Show -13th April

In Bollywood, when the topic of senior bachelors comes up, Salman Khan is usually the first name that comes to mind. Even at 59, he remains one of the industry’s most famous unmarried stars. But he’s not the only one — another long-time bachelor is Akshaye Khanna.

Now 50, Akshaye has always kept a low profile and has openly stated that he has no plans to get married. With the success of his recent film Dhurandhar, Akshaye is once again in the spotlight, not just for his work but also for his personal life — particularly his past relationship with Karisma Kapoor.

Back in the day, Akshaye and Karisma were very close. Karisma’s father was aware of their relationship and even hoped for a marriage between them. However, Karisma’s mother, Babita, strongly opposed the match. Since then, Akshaye has chosen to remain single, while Karisma went on to have two children and now lives independently.

The success of Dhurandhar has reignited conversations among Bollywood fans about Akshaye’s personal life. Many hope to see Akshaye and Karisma share the screen again, while others nostalgically wonder if a real-life reunion might ever happen.
