Luck
stroked

and

added

not
loyal.

his
behind

controversial
life,

Casanova
Lifestyle
After
a
brief
relationship
with
Pooja
batra,
the
actor
broke
up
with
the
lass
and
was
seen
falling
for
Raveena.
Ravishing
ravs
was
head
over
heels
in
love
with
Akki,
when
the
actor
dumped
her
for
yet
another
new
catch
Shilpa
Shetty.
Secret
Engagement
A
lesser
known
fact
about
the
Raveena
Tandon-Akshay
Kumar's
love
story
is
that
the
two
were
secretly
engaged
and
the
hunky
actor
had
promised
that
they
would
marry
when
all
of
Raveena's
pending
projects
were
completed.
But
the
relationship
went
kaput.
Akshay
and
Rekha
It
was
alleged
that
Rekha
as
trying
to
get
close
to
Akki
and Rekha
apparently
tried
being
too
intimate
with
Akshay
as
well.
Regard
to
this, Raveena
said,
"I
think
Raju
(Akshay)
knows
where
to
draw
the
line.
If
this
actress
knows
that
we
are
together
yet
gets
too
close
to
Akshay,
I
will
get
my
claws
into
her.
But
Akshay
knows
how
to
handle
the
situation
I
guess."
Akki-Shilpa
Bedroom

bedroom
secrets
to
a
leading
daily.
"Akshay
told
us
that
Shilpa
was
a
very
innocent
girl
when
they
met.
She
may
not
have
even
kissed
a
man
before
they
started
dating
and
she
insisted
on
taking
things
very
slowly.
Shilpa
wanted
to
hold
hands
and
loved
romantic
gestures.
After
a
few
years
though,
their
relationship
moved
on
to
a
new
level
and
she
felt
that
she
could
trust
Akshay,"
said
