Tara Sharma Applauds Akshaye Khanna’s ‘Dhurandhar’ Performance, Revisits Past Romance

Actress Tara Sharma, once romantically linked to Akshaye Khanna, has openly praised the actor’s stellar performance in the recently released film Dhurandhar. The two share a long-standing bond, having known each other since childhood, and were reportedly in a relationship for two years before parting ways amicably.

In an Instagram post, Tara shared an old photograph with Akshaye, writing, “Congratulations Akshaye! We haven’t watched the film yet, but our feed is filled with Dhurandhar moments. Especially your entry in that song—your swag, aura, and performance are incredible. Heartiest congratulations to you and the entire team.”

She added, “We’ve known each other since childhood, and it’s wonderful to see your passion for acting continue to shine. Perhaps our school plays were our first steps into the world of acting, and I knew even then that you would excel. I’m happy your quiet, steadfast effort is finally getting its due recognition.”

A Look Back at Their Relationship

Akshaye Khanna had once described his relationship with Tara as genuine. In a 2007 appearance on Koffee with Karan, he called it “a true relationship.” However, in later interviews, he denied any romantic involvement. When asked about friends suggesting Tara as a potential life partner, Akshaye clarified, “Which friends are saying this? Tara and I have known each other for years, but she is now happily married.”

Tara Sharma married Rupak Saluja in 2007, and Akshaye Khanna was reportedly invited to the wedding. Speaking to the Times of India at the time, Tara said, “Our breakup was long ago, but we’ve always remained friends. There’s no issue, and it’s all amicable.”

Despite the end of their romantic relationship after two years, the friendship between Tara Sharma and Akshaye Khanna continues, as evidenced by her heartfelt praise of his recent cinematic work.
