As actor Akshaye Khanna continues to receive widespread praise for his performance in Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster ‘Dhurandhar’, several throwback videos and interviews from his early career have resurfaced, delighting fans. Among them, a 26-year-old stage performance video featuring Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai has gone viral, once again capturing the audience’s imagination.

The video dates back to 1999, when Akshaye and Aishwarya performed live on stage in Miami, dancing to their film’s hit song ‘Taal Se Taal Mila’. The clip shows the duo sharing effortless chemistry, graceful moves, and a charming on-stage rapport that has struck a nostalgic chord with fans of 90s Bollywood.

Fans Relive the Magic of the 90s

As the video circulates on social media, viewers are showering it with love, praising the pair’s simple yet elegant dance steps and their natural bonding on stage. Many fans have described the performance as a reminder of an era when Bollywood performances were marked by grace rather than spectacle.

Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai had worked together in multiple films during that period, and their pairing was often the subject of admiration and speculation. The resurfaced video has brought back memories of their much-loved on-screen presence.

Akshaye’s Open Admiration for Aishwarya

Akshaye Khanna has previously spoken candidly about his admiration for Aishwarya Rai. During an appearance on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’, he had openly praised her beauty, saying that when she was around, it was impossible to take one’s eyes off her. He remarked that her beauty was so striking that one could not help but stare.

Past Relationship Rumours

Around the same time, media reports had also suggested that Akshaye Khanna was once engaged to Karisma Kapoor. However, the engagement reportedly did not move forward, as Karisma’s mother Babita was said to be opposed to her daughter getting married at the peak of her career.

With Akshaye Khanna back in the spotlight for his recent success, this throwback moment has only added to the renewed affection fans hold for the actor—reminding many why he remains one of Bollywood’s most understated and admired performers.
