Akshay Kumar, known for his action-packed roles, is among Bollywood’s top actors. Married to Twinkle Khanna, daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, he shares a happy life with their kids, Aarav and Nitara. His past, however, includes rumored link-ups, with his breakup with Shilpa Shetty making headlines.
Akshay and Shilpa fell in love while working on Main Khiladi Tu Anari. They were often seen together and appeared deeply in love. However, their breakup was just as public as their romance. Shilpa ended things after discovering that Akshay was also involved with Twinkle.
In a 2000 interview, Shilpa openly shared her feelings about Akshay’s infidelity. She revealed that she never expected him to cheat on her throughout their relationship. However, she didn’t blame Twinkle, believing the responsibility lay entirely with Akshay for being unfaithful.
In the interview, Shilpa shared that Akshay had used her and then left when he fell for Twinkle. She expressed her disappointment, stating that she was only upset with him. While moving on wasn’t easy, she was glad she found the strength. She also made it clear that she would never work with him again.
While working on Dhadkan, Shilpa discovered Akshay’s relationship with Twinkle. Despite her personal turmoil, she focused on completing the film, ensuring that her issues with Akshay didn’t affect the project or its producers. Though her personal life was falling apart, she remained professional and committed to her work.
Akshay denied all the accusations made by Shilpa at the time, stating that she was unnecessarily turning the issue into a scandal. In response, Shilpa dismissed his claims, maintaining that her perspective on the situation was different from his.
