Shilpa Shetty Reflects on 1990s Relationship and Breakup with Akshay KumarPreviousNext

Shilpa Shetty and Akshay Kumar were reportedly in a serious relationship during the 1990s, which ended amid public attention. In past interviews, Shilpa accused Akshay of being unfaithful, stating he 'used' and 'dropped' her after finding someone else. She clarified that she did not blame the other woman involved and expressed that she has moved on, considering the chapter closed and stating she would not work with him again. Both actors have largely avoided discussing the breakup in detail since.
