A video has resurfaced showing Akshaye Khanna congratulating Karisma Kapoor at her wedding to Sunjay Kapur in 2003, with a warm handshake and a kiss on her hand. The gesture, captured on camera, has sparked renewed interest in their past, as rumors once linked the two actors romantically. The wedding itself, a grand affair held on September 29, 2003, at the Kapoor family's Krishna Raj Bungalow in Mumbai, was one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year.

Karisma, a leading Bollywood actress at the time, married businessman Sunjay Kapoor in a ceremony that blended Hindu and Sikh traditions. The event was attended by numerous Bollywood celebrities, including Salman Khan, Govinda, Amrish Puri, Vivek Oberoi, Tabu, and Rajesh Khanna, signifying Karisma's prominence in the film industry. Akshaye Khanna's presence at the wedding, however, added an intriguing layer to the celebration.

Before Karisma married Sunjay, she was reportedly in a relationship with Akshaye Khanna. According to various reports, their friendship blossomed into love, and Randhir Kapoor, Karisma's father, even approved of the match, and sent a marriage proposal to Vinod Khanna, Akshaye's father. However, the union never materialized, allegedly due to Karisma's mother, Babita's intervention. Babita reportedly believed that Karisma was at the peak of her career and that marriage would hinder her professional progress. Some reports also suggest that Babita was not entirely comfortable with the Khanna family's background.

Prior to Akshaye, Karisma was also engaged to Abhishek Bachchan, but that relationship also ended. Ultimately, Karisma's marriage to Sunjay Kapoor ended in divorce in 2016 after a lengthy legal battle.

Akshaye Khanna, known for his private nature, has remained unmarried. He has often stated his disinterest in marriage and parenthood, valuing his independence and solitude. Despite being linked to several actresses over the years, he has maintained a single status, focusing on his career and personal space.

The resurfaced video clip of Akshaye Khanna at Karisma Kapoor's wedding serves as a reminder of the complex and intertwined relationships within Bollywood. While Akshaye and Karisma never publicly acknowledged their relationship, the warmth and affection displayed in the video provide a glimpse into their shared history. The moment captured on camera, a simple yet meaningful gesture, continues to fascinate fans and industry insiders alike.
