Suniel Shetty wishes Akshay Kumar on his 58th birthday with a throwback from their 1993's film Waqt Hamara Hai

Bollywood’s beloved action stars Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar have shared a bond that goes beyond films, and on September 9, that friendship shone once again. As Akshay Kumar turned 58, Suniel dug into the archives and pulled out a priceless throwback from the 90s, reminding fans of their iconic journey that began more than three decades ago.

The two actors first teamed up in 1993’s Waqt Hamara Hai, a film that marked the beginning of a partnership audiences quickly came to cherish.

From there, their paths often crossed on screen, but it was the cult comedy Hera Pheri in 2000 that cemented their status as one of Bollywood’s most loved duos. Their chemistry, along with Paresh Rawal’s unforgettable turn as Babu Bhaiya, turned the film into a classic. Six years later, Phir Hera Pheri carried forward the madness and success.

Now, with Hera Pheri 3 in the works, fans are more excited than ever to see the trio back together. Suniel’s nostalgic post only added to the anticipation. Sharing the picture, which shows both actors in their youthful prime, sporting sunglasses and an air of effortless cool, Suniel wrote: “Akki, from madness to memories, from hustle to hugs, we have seen it all together. Here's to many more laughs and crazy times ahead.”

The heartfelt caption struck a chord with fans, many of whom flooded the comments with their own memories of watching the duo on screen. For many, the post wasn’t just about Akshay’s birthday but also a celebration of an enduring friendship in an industry known for fleeting bonds.

As Akshay enters another year, his career continues to span action, comedy, drama, and socially relevant cinema, while Suniel enjoys a successful second act as both actor and entrepreneur. What remains constant, however, is the camaraderie between these two stalwarts — a partnership that began with Waqt Hamara Hai and continues to make Bollywood fans smile decades later.
