Akshay Kumar and Rekha are two of Bollywood’s biggest names. The actors were once a beloved on-screen pair, and fans loved their chemistry. They also sparked real-life romance rumours when Akshay was already engaged to Raveena Tandon. In the 90s, Akshay was a heartthrob (he still is), and Bollywood beauties were often linked to him. Among them was his much-older Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi co-star, Rekha.
