3rd June 2023,Mumbai: The 1990s were a different era in Bollywood, with young stars dominating the industry and captivating audiences with their performances. During this time, a heated argument erupted between Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan following an incident involving Shilpa Shetty on stage.
Akshay and Salman were the reigning superstars of the early 1990s and had shared the screen in films like Jaan-E-Mann and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Despite their close friendship today, the two actors were previously engaged in a verbal fight over an incident that took place during a tour.
According to an old magazine article shared on Reddit, Akshay, Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon, and Manisha Koirala were on a tour together. Akshay, known for his energetic entries, would occasionally cycle through the audience and even make stage entries on his hands. However, during one such act, he accidentally knocked over several pots, one of which landed on Shilpa Shetty’s head. Shilpa accused Akshay, alleging that it was done intentionally. Despite the incident, she continued to perform alongside Salman Khan.
In response, Akshay Kumar remarked, “Shilpa and I had some trouble during the shows. She changed her preferences after the incident. I agreed to perform without her because she didn’t want to. When it comes to Salman, mere saath panga lene ki kisi mein himmat hai?” Salman jokingly replied, “Yeh kya panga lega mujhse,” indicating a playful exchange between the two stars.
According to a Redditor, the celebrities later made up and attributed the clash to miscommunication. However, attempts to identify the original publication from which the article was sourced were unsuccessful, as the internet remained silent. The picture was uploaded to the BollyBlindsNGossip Reddit community by a user named “Box Office Experts.”
