Raveena Tandon on suicide rumors after Akshay Kumar breakup

There were numerous rumors and theories about Raveena Tandon and Akshay Kumar’s breakup. One such claim was about the actress attempting suicide. In a conversation with Barkha Dutt for Mojo Story, Raveena reacted to the decade-old rumors and said, “Yes, what’s the big deal? So many relationships break up, people move on, you remain friends… You realise we were not good as partners but we’re good as friends. So what’s the big deal? I don’t understand. I was absolutely fine. The bigger fuss was made in the media, because in those days, they wanted to sell their magazines. But personally, amongst us, between my friends, and what my family thought mattered to me. Beyond a certain point, what people thought did not matter to me.”
