When Kareena CONFESSED having a crush on Akshaye Khanna

When Kareena Kapoor CONFESSED having a crush on Akshaye Khanna, called him the ‘right person’ to go to Hollywood: ‘Ladkiyan unke peeche paagal thi, main bhi thi’

Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna has taken social media by storm with his latest performance in Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’. Fans can’t stop talking about his viral entry dance to Flipperachi’s song ‘Fa9la’, praising his intensity and screen presence. Amid all this excitement, an old video of Kareena Kapoor has resurfaced online, where she openly admitted being crazy about Akshaye after watching ‘Himalaya Putra’, even calling him perfect Hollywood material.

Kareena Kapoor recalled her teenage crush openly

During the promotions of ‘Hulchul’ in 2004, Kareena spoke about enjoying working with Akshaye and said, “I have watched Himalay Putra at least 20 times because at that time I was in school and Akshaye Khanna was the latest heartthrob. Toh ladkiyan unke peeche pagal thi and usmein main bhi thi (Girls were crazy about him, and one of them was me too). It was like ‘Akshaye Khanna I am a bachelor, I am a bachelor, My God Akshaye Khanna’, so it was like that. So I have always liked Akshaye.”The ‘Jab We Met’ actress further added, “He is so cute, adorable and such a good human being. He is such a wonderful actor; he is the right person to go to Hollywood because his performances are mind-blowing.”

About ‘Hulchul’

The romantic comedy directed by Priyadarshan was a remake of the 1991 Malayalam film ‘Godfather’. The film featured an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Kareena Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal, Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Farha Naaz and Laxmi.The story revolved around two feuding families and a fake-love-turned-real romance between Jai (Akshaye Khanna) and Anjali (Kareena Kapoor). What began as a revenge plan quickly turned into a series of hilarious misunderstandings.

Akshay Khanna’s films in 2025

Now, he has become the talk of the town again with his villainous role as Rehman Dakait in ‘Dhurandhar’. The film hit the cinemas of December 5, 2025 and also stars Ranveer Singh, R.
