Akshay Kumar and Karisma Kapoor, one of the most popular screen pairings of the 1990s, starred together in several hit films including Lahoo Ke Do Rang, Suhaag, Deedar, Mere Jeevan Saathi, Jaanwar, and the cult classic Dil Toh Pagal Hai. Now, a resurfaced clip from the iconic celebrity chat show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai has brought to light an endearing revelation from the superstar about his bond with Karisma.
In the video, Akshay surprises Karisma by sharing that she was not only his co-star but also his first-ever choreographer. Recalling an incident from the set of their debut film together, Akshay revealed that the choreographer failed to show up on the day they were supposed to shoot a song. “When I danced for the first time, she was the one who choreographed me,” Akshay said, crediting the actress for guiding him through the steps. Karisma added that it was the first song of her own career as well, which meant both actors were learning the ropes together. Being newcomers with limited understanding of camera movements, they improvised with ease—an experience that strengthened their early bond. Akshay admitted he picked up his initial dance moves from Karisma, making her his unofficial mentor in his earliest performance days.
Alongside the resurfaced nostalgia, Akshay also treated fans to updates from the set of his upcoming film Haiwaan, where he stars alongside Saif Ali Khan, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Saiyami Kher. Sharing a behind-the-scenes glimpse, he wrote, “Last schedule of Haiwaan… what a journey it’s been. This character has pushed, shaped and surprised me in so many ways.” The actor expressed gratitude to director Priyam, saying the film’s sets felt “like home,” and fondly acknowledged his reunion with Saif after nearly 17 years, praising their effortless camaraderie on screen.
The post drew enthusiastic comments from his co-stars, with Saiyami Kher writing, “What a ride it’s been! Can’t wait for the world to see you in this avatar,” while Shriya Pilgaonkar reacted with celebratory emojis.
Meanwhile, Akshay also offered fans another peek into his much-talked-about entertainer Welcome To The Jungle. He shared a fun dance video featuring himself and Disha Patani grooving to the classic Akshay-Katrina hit Ek Uncha Lamba Kad. The clip quickly went viral, racking up over a million likes and more than 12,000 comments within hours, proving the actor’s enduring star power and fan enthusiasm for his upcoming releases.
