Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar have starred in more than a few movies together, with a good number of them clicking well at the box office. It's also no secret that despite their several hit romantic pairings on screen, the two share quite an age difference, with Kareena Kapoor, currently 41 years of age, and Akshay Kumar being 54 years old. This can be put into perspective by recounting how Akshay had earlier romanced Bebo's elder sister, Karisma Kapoor, on screen. In fact, unbeknownst to many, Kareena Kapoor was just a schoolkid when she had seen the Khiladi give his first shot on set.

Recalling the moment in a chat with Akshay Kumar's wife, Twinkle Khanna, on her Tweak India platform, and describe how it was weird to later romance the superstar on screen, Kareena Kapoor said, “I am romancing all of Lolo's (Karisma) costars, it's so weird. (During) Akshay's first shot, I was in my school uniform. It's been such a long time, it just shows how amazing he is rather than me,” to which Twinkle Khanna retorted, “Maybe not, it also shows that here men can just have these long careers and women (not so much)…” Also Read - Deepika Padukone to Sidharth Malhotra: Top 10 Bollywood celebs who do not smoke or drink alcohol
