In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood we often witness some sizzling on-screen pairings that sometimes make us swoon over them as if they are a real-life couple. Among the many such unforgettable pairings in Bollywood one duo that really resonated with the audience but shone only for a brief time was Akshay Kumar and Madhuri Dixit. While both actors have long career trajectories this duo appeared together on the big screen only once. But whats even more surprising is that their film couldnt deliver as expected and turned out to be a major disappointment. The only time when Akshay Kumar and Madhuri Dixit appeared together Celebrated actor Akshay Kumar started his career in the early 90s whereas Madhuri Dixit was already an established name and was dominating the industry with her graceful moves at that time. Both the actors were powerful performers in their own right but still they only got to share the screen just once. They appeared together in the film Aarzoo which was released in the year 1999 and directed by Lawrence D’Souza. How much did Aarzoo earn?
