Actors Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon had appeared in several films together, and dating rumours circulated in the early 1990s. Raveena revealed that the two began dating in 1995 but chose not to make it public. Rumours of Rekha and Akshay’s romance began in 1996, but Raveena later revealed in an interview that nothing was going on between them and that Akshay wanted to ‘runaway from Rekha.’
Raveena and Akshay began dating in 1995, following their appearances in the 1994 hit film Mohra. Raveena stated in an interview that the two became engaged in the late 1990s. When the tabloids were buzzing with Akshay and Rekha linkup rumours during the shoot of Khiladiyon ka Khiladi in 1996, Raveena Tandon stepped in and cleared the air.
“I don’t think Akshay ever had anything to do with Rekha,” she told Reddit in an interview. He would actually run away from her. Because of the film, Akshay tolerated Rekha. She once wanted to bring him lunch dabbas from home. That’s when I decided to put my foot down. It seemed a little too far.
After splitting from Raveena in 1998, Akshay began dating International Khiladi co-star Twinkle Khanna. After dating for several years, they married in 2001. The couple has two children: a son named Aarav, born in 2002, and a daughter named Nitara, born in 2012.
Anil Thadani, a businessman, married Raveena. They shared the birth of their daughter Rasha Thadani and son Ranbirvardhan Thadani.
