90s icon Raveena Tandon who was once in a relationship with Bollywood's action superstar Akshay Kumar, once got candid about their courtship in an old television interview. The clip which has now gone viral on Reddit, shows the actress speak about how Akshay was engaged to multiple women while he was still with her.

Raveena said, "I was not in love with him but while being engaged to me he got engaged twice. He and me were breaking up and we'd get back and once when we broke up next week he was engaged to someone else I was like, ‘What are you doing?', He said, ‘My parents saw me crying over you so they said no problem beta we'll get you somebody else.' I clearly remember my words In Hindi I said, ‘Yeh kya koi khilona hai kya ki ek toot gaya toh koi baat nahi bachcha hum tumhare liye dusra le ayenge (Is this a toy that if one is broken your parents will get you another)'."
