It is because Abhishek and Karisma's engagement was announced in 2002. However, a year later, the most-awaited marriage of B Town was called off abruptly in 2003. Furthermore, Abhishek has also romanced Aishwarya Rai onscreen in several movies. But, here we are talking about another starkid, who not only 'almost married' Karisma but also romanced Aishwarya. Well, the shocking thing is that this star kid wanted to date Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister, J. Jayalalithaa. The star kid is none other than superstar Vinod Khanna's son Akshaye Khanna.

Akshaye Khanna, son of yesteryear superstar Vinod Khanna, made his debut in 1997 with Himalay Putra. However, the movie was a box office disaster. However, in the same year, he starred in the blockbuster flick Border which changed his destiny. Throughout his illustrious career spanning over three decades, Akshaye has delivered numerous hits including Taal, Hulchul, Dil Chahta Hai, Humraaz, Race, Mom and Drishyam 2. However, though he achieved success and was in a romantic relationship in the past, the actor still remains single.
Akshaye Almost Married Karisma Kapoor but...
Akshaye is one among the actors who shy away from discussing their personal life. Reportedly, he was in a relationship with Karisma Kapoor. Even Karisma's father Randhir Kapoor had sent a marriage proposal to Vinod Khanna as he wanted his daughter to marry Akshaye. However, Karisma's mother Babita Kapoor was against this marriage. At the time, Karisma was at the peak of her career and she (Babita) didn't want her to leave showbiz and sit at home after marriage. Thus, the marriage was called off and the romantic relationship ended.
Akshaye Khanna's Affairs
Though Akshaye has always been reserved when it comes to his personal life, according to earlier reports he dated actresses Tara Sharma and Riya Sen.

Akshaye Wanted to Date Jayalalithaa?
Interestingly, Akshaye once expressed his desire to date the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, the late Jayalalithaa, who was 27 years older than him.
Why is Akshaye Still Single?
Akshaye Khanna has turned 49 years old, but he remains single. Opening up about why he isn't in a relationship or married, Akshaye told Times of India that he doesn't see himself as a marriage material. The Hulchul actor also stated that he believes that he is not made for that kind of life or commitment. He also stated that marriage changes everything and he prefers to maintain control over his own life.
