Tara Sharma recently took to Instagram to congratulate Akshaye Khanna on his performance in "Dhurandhar", sparking renewed interest in their long-standing friendship and a past rumored relationship. Sharma shared a throwback photo featuring the two from their younger days, along with a heartfelt message praising Khanna's dedication to acting.

In her post, Sharma admitted she hadn't yet seen "Dhurandhar" but had heard considerable praise for Khanna's performance, particularly highlighting his entry scene and the song 'FA9LA'. She fondly recalled their school plays, considering them as their initial forays into acting. "Having known each other since we were little, it's really fab to watch you stay true to your passion for acting," she wrote. Sharma also acknowledged Khanna's private nature, expressing happiness that his hard work was finally receiving widespread recognition. She wished the entire cast and crew good luck.

Khanna, known for maintaining a low profile, hasn't responded publicly on social media. However, the internet has revisited a statement he made in 2007 on Karan Johar's chat show when asked about his relationship with Sharma. Khanna simply stated, "That's a genuine relationship". This remark has now gone viral, fueling speculation and interest in their bond.

"Dhurandhar," directed by Aditya Dhar, has been receiving positive responses, with Khanna's performance being particularly lauded. The film has also achieved commercial success, giving a boost to the industry. Fans have praised Khanna's portrayal of his character, noting his powerful screen presence. Actress Ameesha Patel also shared a throwback picture with Akshaye, calling him humble and unaffected. Arjun Rampal, who also stars in "Dhurandhar," commended Khanna's performance.

The film stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles. One scene in "Dhurandhar" has also gone viral due to its subtle meme reference. The scene features a shop named "Washma Butt", which is a reference to an old internet meme.
