Akshay Kumar’s Affairs Before Marriage
Before his marriage, Akshay Kumar had several relationships, one of which took place early in his career. The actress involved in this affair was one of Bollywood’s most glamorous heroines of that time. Now, after 30 years, she has revealed the details of their love story.
Akshay Kumar: Bollywood’s ‘Casanova’
There was a time when Kumar was called Bollywood’s “Casanova.” In the early days of his career, he was linked with many actresses, including Shilpa Shetty and Raveena Tandon. He also dated Twinkle Khanna before eventually marrying her. However, one affair, in particular, was rarely discussed. This romance happened when Akshay was new to the industry, just starting out. The actress was so glamorous that she outshone other top heroines of the time. Though rumors about their relationship spread, the story was buried after their breakup. Now, 30 years later, the actress has shared the truth about their romance.
Sheeba Recalls Her Love Story
There were rumors that you and Akshay Kumar were dating back then. Is it true?
When Sheeba was asked this question, she took a deep breath and then laughed aloud. She tried to avoid the question by saying, “I’m too old now, and no one is interested in this anymore.” However, she added, “When you’re young and work closely, love happens.” She explained that their first film together was Mister Bond, during which they fell in love. “We were both fitness enthusiasts and family friends. My grandmother and his mother used to play cards together. So, it just happened.” You may like it: Sreeleela is about to debut in Bollywood, and here’s why she’ll stand out
Post-Breakup Silence
When asked what went wrong, Sheeba replied, “We were just kids, both of us were young. I don’t talk about it now. It’s so funny—there’s nothing to discuss. It’s been 30 years, and I don’t even remember it clearly. When you’re young, after a breakup, staying friends is hard. You’re very emotional at that age, and it’s not easy to get over it. Breakups impact both your work and personal life.” She also mentioned that, during those days, actors tried to avoid relationship rumors because discussing such matters could cost them movie roles. Producers used to make actors sign agreements, ensuring they couldn’t marry or have children during film shoots.
Sheeba and Akshay Kumar’s Film Collaborations
Sheeba Agarwal became one of the most glamorous actresses of her time, with bold photo shoots that led her to be known as Bollywood’s “sex symbol.” Her glamorous look was clearly visible in her films. She worked in several movies in both Bollywood and the South Indian film industry. Her on-screen pairing with Salman Khan in Pyaar Ka Saya and Surya Vanshi was a hit. She also worked with Sanjay Dutt and featured alongside Akshay Kumar in Mister Bond, Lahu Ke Do Rang, and Zalim.
The Decline of Lead Roles
After taking a break from acting, Sheeba married filmmaker Akashdeep. She shared that Salman Khan had advised her to settle down. After her marriage, Sheeba found fewer roles coming her way and gradually distanced herself from films. She realized her career was slowing down when she stopped getting lead roles and was only offered item songs. She confessed that she cried a lot on the sets, realizing her career was coming to an end. Now, Sheeba has ventured into film production and occasionally takes on side roles. Her most recent appearance was in the film Jigra, which was released last year.
