According to a report by Moneycontrol, Akshaye Khanna and Karisma Kapoor developed a close bond after her breakup with Ajay Devgn, with their friendship eventually turning into romance. Karisma’s father, Randhir Kapoor, is said to have supported the relationship and even approached Vinod Khanna with a marriage proposal for Akshaye.

The proposed alliance never came to fruition, and Khanna has rarely discussed the matter in public.
