It is exciting to know that not Kajol¡¯s husband Ajay Devgn but her Yeh Dillagi co-star Akshay Kumar was her crush.

Kajal graced the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa for promoting her upcoming film Salaam Venky. In one of the promos shared by Colors TV, host Maniesh Paul played a questioning game with Kajol and the show¡¯s judge Karan Johar. The show also has actress Madhuri Dixit and dancer Nora Fatehi on the judging panel.

During the game, Maniesh asks Karan, ¡°Kajol mam ka Bollywood crush Kaun Raha, Ajay sir ke alwa (Who was Kajol¡¯s crush in Bollywood except for Ajay)?¡± To which Karan replied saying, ¡°She had a big crush on¡± and turned a slate on which he wrote ¡®Akshay Kumar¡¯. Kajol was seen smiling at his answer. Further, in-game, Kajol also said that Karan would have been a choreographer if not a filmmaker.

Although Akshay and Kajol were two of the most successful actors of the 90s but didn¡¯t work together in more than one film. The duo starred in 1994¡¯s Yeh Dillagi.

In one of the earlier episodes of The Kapil Sharma Show, Karan Johar addressed the Akshay-Kajol angle while discussing how he and Kajol first met. He said, ¡°I met Kajol at another party, at the premiere of the Henna movie. Kajol had a big crush on Akshay Kumar and was looking for him at the entire premiere and I was her support then. So both of us were looking for him at the entire event. While we didn¡¯t find Akshay, but it was the beginning of our friendship. Both of us stayed in South Mumbai and that¡¯s where our friendship developed further.¡±
