Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon, who was once considered a popular on-screen couple, appeared together on stage at HT India’s Most Stylish 2023. The two stars had dated each other briefly nearly 25 years ago and were also engaged for a short period in the mid-nineties. At the awards show, Raveena presented an award to Akshay Kumar and glimpses of the two stars chatting on stage and in the audience have gone viral.
During a rapid-fire round, Akshay Kumar was asked who was the Malaika Arora of the 90s, to which he replied Mamta Kulkarni. Raveena remained mum to which Akshay teasingly asked her if she had any other name in mind. Raveena then praised Malaika’s “amazing style,” and Akshay asked her to give a straight answer.
Raveena added, “It could be Shilpa! She has always had a classy style,” with Akshay nodding in agreement. Interestingly, Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty have also dated in the past. The two also agreed that Govinda was the Ranveer Singh of the 90s.
A few months ago, Raveena Tandon spoke about their breakup and relationship, stating that it comes up like there’s a war between everyone whom Akshay has been involved with. She further added that when they had moved out of each other’s lives, they were already dating someone else, so there was no reason for jealousy. Raveena also mentioned that their engagement had been forgotten about, and people should move on from it.
Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon have worked together in several films such as Mohra, Police Force: An Inside Story, Daava, Keemat, and Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi. Despite their past relationship, the two stars have remained cordial and often bump into each other at social events.
