Do you know, Akshaye Khanna was all set to get married to actress, Karisma Kapoor? Yes, its true. As per various reports, when Karisma had broken up with Ajay Devgn, she had found solace in Akshaye Khanna. It was reported that the two were in a romantic relationship, and Karisma's father, Randhir Kapoor had even sent a marriage proposal for his daughter to Akshaye's father, Vinod Khanna.
However, it was Karisma's mother, Babita, who had intervened and didn't let the marriage happen. As per the reports, Babita was not happy with Karisma getting married as she was at the peak of her career. Akshaye, being a private person had never talked about his relationship or break-up with Karisma.
After Akshaye, Karisma had got engaged to Abhishek Bachchan. However, their wedding was called off and reports had stated the reason behind their suddenly called-off wedding was because of Karisma's mother, Babita. It was reported that she wanted a stable and secure life for her daughters. Post their breakup, Karisma Kapoor went on to marry Sanjay Kapur, a rich Delhi-based businessman but they got divorced in 2016.

Akshaye was once rumoured to be dating Aishwarya Rai and Riya Sen for some time in his early days in Bollywood. He was also in a serious relationship with Tara Sharma and was even rumoured to be engaged to her. It was also speculated that Akshaye was pretty serious about her, but due to some reasons, their relationship didn’t work out and they had parted ways. The Hulchul actor had never addressed the breakup and it got cast away as a rumour.
In an interview with the Hindustan Times, when Akshaye was asked why he is still unmarried, the actor had given a very logical reason for the same and had said:
"I don’t see myself (getting married), I’m not marriage material, as they say. I’m not cut out for that kind of… (we ask if it’s commitment)… not that, but that kind of life. It’s a commitment, but a drastic lifestyle change. Marriage changes everything. I want full control over my life. When you share your life with somebody else, you can’t have full control. You have to give a lot of control away. You share each other’s lives."
Well, it seems like Akshaye is quite clear about his thoughts on marriage.
