Mahesh Bhupathi brings back nostalgia, shares selfie with Leander Paes

Tennis greats Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes, nicknamed the 'Indian Express', bring back nostalgia with a selfie.

The 49-year-old took to social media to share a selfie with Paes. His caption read, "And we go again! Stay tuned."

With hashtags like #30YearsLater and #Chennai, the post fueled nostalgia and a lot of curiosity.



Earlier this month, the duo celebrated 24 years of making history at Wimbledon. Fondly known as Lee-Hesh, the duo were the first Indian doubles team to win at the tournament in 1999.

The official handle of Wimbledon shares a throwback video from the "unforgettable day". Later, Bhupathi also quote-tweeted the post with a red heart emoji.


Every year, Wimbledon pays a tribute to the 'Indian Express' who made India proud after winning the men's doubles title.


The duo also celebrate the memorable day every year, calling it a dream come true.



In 2021, the duo reunited for a web series, titled 'Break Point'. Paes and Bhupathi shared interesting stories and anecdotes from their journey to stardom and their relationship together in the docu-series. It was created by award-winning husband-wife director duo - Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and Nitesh Tiwari - for Zee5.

Paes and Bhupathi were the first Indian pair to win at Wimbledon in 1999. The speculation about their reunion started after Paes on Sunday posted a picture and wrote a note on Twitter on the 22nd anniversary of their first Wimbledon men's doubles title.

The pair played together from 1994 to 2006 before re-uniting for a second stint from 2008 to 2011. They also had a public fallout but have put that behind them now. They also won three Grand Slam doubles titles.
