There was a time when Akshaye Khanna and Karisma Kapoor were said to be deeply in love, with marriage almost on the horizon. After parting ways with Ajay Devgn, Karisma reportedly grew close to Akshaye, finding comfort and companionship in him. Their bond soon turned romantic, and Randhir Kapoor was also said to have supported their relationship, even proposing the match to Vinod Khanna. However, things took a different turn when Babita, Karisma’s mother, reportedly stepped in and discouraged the marriage, believing her daughter’s career was at a crucial stage, according to Bollywood Shadi.com. True to his private nature, Akshaye never spoke about his equation or breakup with Karisma, choosing to keep that chapter of his life away from public attention.
