Their relationship hogged reams of newsprint. So did their break up. Hundreds of articles, tonnes of bad press (from both sides) and an overdose of emotion sold better than all their movies put together. A high-voltage emotional drama, it kept the gossip mills busy for months.
The souring of their love had all the makings of a Bollywood blockbuster—everyone from the local chai walla to the biggest media moguls speculated on what could have gone wrong with the 'golden couple of Bollywood'. The reason for the break-up is still unknown, though a hundred different stories still float about.

Following closely on the heels on the Akshay-Raveena break-up was the Akshay-Shilpa break-up—a scandal that has resurfaced once more. After the actress' recent big win on Big Brother, British tabloids were quick to dig up the details of her past. Shilpa's 'spicy sex life' with the actor dominated headlines in Britain—complete with quotes from 'sources close to Akshay'. Akshay, however, denied reports that he was paid a huge amount of money to spill the beans on their affair.
