: They were secretly engaged in the late '90s in an elaborate ceremony attended by both families. The Ultimatums : Raveena later revealed that
After a brief courtship, Anil proposed to Raveena. They tied the knot on February 22, 2004, in a grand, royal wedding at the Shiv Niwas Palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
Years later, Raveena has shown remarkable grace, moving on from the drama of the 90s. She has maintained a close friendship with Akshay Kumar, and they are all set to reunite on screen for the upcoming comedy Welcome to the Jungle . Even her equation with Shilpa Shetty has evolved beyond the old rivalry, with Raveena stating, "Shilpa and I are friends. We all moved on, so happy for our families".
Raveena starred opposite several leading men in the 90s, but her pairings with Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn are some of the most memorable.
By her own admission in later interviews, Raveena was "possessive" and deeply in love. The story goes that the two even got engaged in a private ceremony, but the narrative took a dark turn. The relationship ended in a very public, tabloid-fodder breakup in the late 90s. Rumors of infidelity and conflicting priorities plagued the split. For a young actress at the peak of her career, this wasn't just a breakup; it was a trial by fire in the court of public opinion. This chapter taught Raveena the hard lesson that in Bollywood, the personal and professional rarely stay separate.
