Bollywood’s Mr. Reliable, Akshay Kumar, dropped a bombshell of nostalgia during a recent television appearance. Recalling Dimple Kapadia, the veteran actress known for her bold choices, Akshay declared, ‘My saas never speaks a lie,’ evoking laughter and admiration from the audience.
This quip surfaced 25 years post-Dimple’s marriage to Raj Kapoor’s son, a union that made headlines for its fairy-tale romance and eventual challenges. Akshay, who shared screen space with her in multiple ventures, was all praises for her integrity.
Their collaborations, including hit films from the 90s, showcased Dimple’s versatility—from intense dramas to light-hearted romps. Akshay credited her mentorship-like presence for teaching him the essence of authenticity in acting and life.
Today, with Akshay’s career spanning action, comedy, and social messages, he cherishes these lessons. Twinkle Khanna, his wife, often teases him about his ‘filmi family’ stories, but this one struck a chord.
The internet exploded with memes and clips, trending #AkshayDimple. It underscores how personal anecdotes from stars keep the spirit of old Bollywood alive.
Dimple, who made a stunning comeback with ‘Tenet,’ continues to inspire. Akshay’s tribute is a testament to enduring respect in Tinseltown.
