· Entertainment · Indian Express, Times of India
Filmmaker Suneel Darshan recently revealed that actors Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty were on the verge of marriage during their relationship in the late 1990s. The couple, who grew close after working on the 1994 film Main Khiladi Tu Anari, eventually separated due to unspecified misunderstandings. During this period, Akshay Kumar faced a significant career slump with a series of box office failures, including Sapoot and Lahoo Ke Do Rang. His career trajectory shifted following the commercial success of the 1999 film Jaanwar, which was directed by Darshan. The filmmaker noted that this success revived the actor's marketability and led to the release of several stalled projects.
