Together, Akshay and Raveena have produced successful movies like Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Mohra. In addition to being ex-costars and the duo, Akshay and Raveena have appeared together in the hit songs Tip Tip Barsa Paani and Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast.

In 1995, Raveena and Akshay began dating. In the late 1990s, they became engaged. They later broke off their relationship for unknown reasons. While Raveena later married businessman Anil Thadani in 2004, Akshay continued to date and eventually wed Twinkle Khanna in 2001.

When discussing the failed engagement earlier this year, Raveena said, “We were a hit pair, during Mohra, and even now, when we bump into each other socially, we all meet, we all chat. Everyone moves on. Girls have been changing their boyfriends every week in colleges, but one engagement that has broken is still stuck to my head, I don’t know why. Everyone moves on, people have divorces, they move on, what’s the big deal.”
