Raveena Tandon continues to make heads turn with her beauty and style. She is one of the most popular actresses from the 90s and it is still referred to as the Mast Mast girl. Apart from her work and now for her daughter Rasha Thadani, Raveena has also been in the headlines for her relationship with Akshay Kumar. On her 49th birthday today (October 26), here’s looking at their love and hate story
Raveena Tandon and Akshay Kumar first met on the sets of their film Mohra in 1994, where they shared a sizzling chemistry on screen. The film was a blockbuster and their song Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast became a sensation. The duo soon fell in love and started dating.
Raveena Tandon revealed on a chat show that she and Akshay Kumar had a very elaborate engagement ceremony in a temple, where their families were present. She said that one of his elders had put a red dupatta on her head, which was mistaken to be a wedding. She also said that she had quit her career for him, as he wanted her to be a housewife.
Things took an ugly turn when rumors of Akshay Kumar’s affair with his then-co-star Rekha started doing the rounds. It was reported that Rekha had fallen for Akshay during the shooting of their film Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi in 1996, and had even gifted him a bungalow. Raveena Tandon was hurt and insecure by these rumors and confronted Akshay about them.
