Akshay Kumar calls Karisma Kapoor his 'first heroine', duo recreate 'Deedar' moment after 34 years
Mumbai Ja, n 27
Bollywood diva Karisma Kapoor and Akshay Kumar treated fans with a dose of sheer nostalgia on the show Wheel of Fortune, as the latter revealed the actress being his life's first heroine ever.
The duo also recreated magic on stage by revisiting their memorable song 'Deedar Ho Gaya Mujhko Pyaar Ho Gaya', marking 34 years of the film Deedar and leaving fans thrilled.
Karisma graced the show, along with Anu Malik and Mouni Roy, who joined in on the fun.
It was here when Akshay Kumar shared a heartfelt moment, saying, "As you all know, she is my first heroine. I did my first film with her, my first song with her. I want to tell you how beautiful you are."
To this, Karisma responds warmly, "Thank you."
In another promo Akshay joked, "Bandra main har building ke andar inke ek-ek flat hain."
Joining the banter, Anu Malik, who accompanied Karisma to the show, quipped, "Akshay never lies," while Karisma teasingly fires back, "You know, he owns entire Juhu!"
Akshay ups the ante, adding Santacruz and Khar to the list.
For the uninitiated, Deedar released in 1992, and was directed and produced by Pramod Chakravorty. The movie featured Akshay Kumar and Karisma Kapoor in the lead roles, marking one of their early on-screen pairings. Akshay Kumar played Anand K. Malhotra and Karisma Kapoor essayed the role of Sapna Saxena.
The film also starred Anupam Kher, Laxmikant Berde, Tanuja, Dan Dhanoa, Rajeev Verma, Viju Khote and others in supporting roles.

The banter about owning flats in Bandra and Juhu was hilarious! 😂 Typical Akshay Kumar style. It's great to see our stars having fun and not taking themselves too seriously. More shows should have this kind of genuine chemistry.
Karisma looks absolutely stunning! She hasn't aged a day. It's a shame we don't see her on screen more often. She and Akshay had such a fresh, energetic pairing in the 90s. Brings back so many childhood memories of watching these films on Doordarshan.
While it's a sweet moment, I sometimes feel these nostalgia trips on reality shows are a bit overdone now. Every other episode is about recreating an old song. Would be nice to see more original content or discussions about their current work too.
As someone who discovered Bollywood later in life, it's fascinating to see these connections. 34 years! That's a lifetime in the film industry. Their camaraderie seems very genuine, not just for the cameras. The "first heroine" comment is quite special.
"Deedar Ho Gaya" is such an iconic song! 🎶 Can't believe it's been 34 years. Time flies. The music of that era was something else. Anu Malik being there just completes the circle. Definitely going to watch this episode.
