In the 1990s, Raveena Tandon and Akshay Kumar were among Bollywood’s most talked-about couples. Their romance began during the peak of their careers. In the age of tabloid journalism, it became a favorite topic for fans and entertainment media.
The pair reportedly grew close while working together in films. Their chemistry on screen was matched by their relationship off screen. Over time, reports emerged that the couple had become engaged. At the time, many believed wedding bells were not far away.
However, the relationship did not last. The engagement was eventually called off. While neither of them has provided an explanation for the breakup, Raveena later spoke about the relationship in several interviews.
She suggested that issues of trust played a role in the split. She also indicated that she had expected greater loyalty from her partner. Media reports from that period frequently linked the breakup to rumors about Akshay’s relationships with other actresses. However, many of those reports remained unconfirmed.
Raveena has also spoken about stepping back from work because marriage seemed likely at the time.
Both actors eventually moved on. Akshay Kumar married Twinkle Khanna in 2001, while Raveena married Anil Thadani in 2004. Thadani is a prominent distributor. The Akshay-Raveena duo will be seen in Welcome To The Jungle, to be released in theatres on June 26.
