The time when Ajay Devgn said that Raveena Tandon needs a psychiatrist…

When Ajay Devgn’s secret love affair with Raveena Tandon hit rockbottom

Before tying the knot with Kajol, Ajay Devgn was linked to various actresses, but his secret love affair with his 'Dilwale' co-star Raveena Tandon attracted maximum eyeballs. They worked in a couple of movies together, but things took a different turn as the two turned into foes and were not ready to even see each other's face.

When Karisma Kapoor was considered the reason behind Ajay-Raveena fallout?

During the same period of 1993-94, Ajay worked with Karisma Kapoor in quite a few movies like 'Jigar', 'Dhanwaan', 'Sangram' and 'Suhaag', to name a few. Raveena had accused Karisma of being the reason for the fallout. In fact, in an interview with a magazine, Raveena spoke about how she was the preferred choice for movies opposite Devgn due to her proximity to him. She said, "I won't name the heroine, but because she was insecure she had me removed from four films. As a matter of fact, I was to do one of the films with her. She was closer to the producer and the hero apparently. So these things do happen, but I'm not into playing these sort of games."

When Ajay Devgn called Raveena Tandon “a born liar”

The once popular pairing of Ajay Devgn and Raveena Tandon was not to be seen in movies anymore. Raveena's claims of holding Karisma responsible for their fallout didn't go down too well with Ajay Devgn who addressed her as a "born liar" in a print interview. He said, "Everyone knows that she is a born liar, that's why her silly statements don't upset me too much. But, this time she has gone too far, she has crossed the limits of decency. It's high time I gave her some advice. This girl must go to a psychiatrist immediately to get her head examined. Otherwise, she will land up in a lunatic asylum. I'm quite willing to accompany her to the shrink's office." Such were his words for Raveena back then.

When Ajay Devgn asked Raveena to publish the so-called love letters

There were reports that Raveena had accused Ajay of writing lovey-dovey letters to her. Ajay was naturally furious and he had a long explanation stating how there were no love letters ever. He said, "Letters? Ha! What letters? Tell the girl that she should go ahead and publish those letters, even I want to read the figment of her imagination. I was never close to her. Ask her, if I've ever called her up or talked to her on my own. She's just trying to get publicity by linking her name with mine. Her so-called suicide attempt was also a publicity gimmick." Such were his words full of enrage and confidence.

When Ajay Devgn refused rumours of an affair with Karisma Kapoor

Actress Karisma Kapoor was considered to be the reason for the innumerable misunderstandings between Ajay and Raveena. Her growing proximity to Devgn was said to be the reason behind the enmity between Ajay and Raveena. When Devgn was quizzed about his fondness and rumoured love affair with Karisma, he said, "People are making a mountain out of a molehill. We are just friends... nothing less, nothing more. I meet Karisma only on the sets. I haven't met her for the last six months." Well.

When Ajay Devgn and Raveena Tandon let bygones by bygones

Considering the amount of hatred Ajay Devgn shared for Raveena Tandon in 1990s, it was practically impossible to imagine them to reunite ever. But, like true professionals, the two have surely matured with age and let bygones by bygones. In the year 2015, when Ajay was quizzed if he would ever work with his 'Dilwale' (1994) co-star Raveena Tandon, he had a positive reply. He said, “Of course! Why not? I would surely work with Raveena depending on the script. Today we are doing different kinds of roles and because of technology, we can play anything from 25 to 80 years. It just shows how versatile you can get.” Raveena too echoed similar sentiments as she said, “We have all grown up together. I met Ajay again a few years ago, when he was a guest on my show, 'Issi Ka Naam Zindagi', and it was good to catch up again after many years. Whatever has happened is in the past. I never had problems even then. I was just a little hurt about the lies about me, that’s all. People move on." Buried the hatchet finally!
