Raveena Tandon, the popular Bollywood actress, recently appeared as a guest on Sony TV’s comedy show Aapka Apna Zakir, where she shared a sweet and amusing story from her childhood. The actress revealed that she had a major crush on the legendary actor Rishi Kapoor when she was just seven or eight years old. Raveena’s innocent infatuation with the beloved “Chintu Ji” took a surprising turn when he got married, leaving her heartbroken.
Raveena’s Childhood Crush and Heartbreak
During the show, Raveena opened up about how Rishi Kapoor was her favorite actor during her childhood. She fondly recalled how the actor had worked with her father, and how she adored the on-screen and off-screen pairing of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. She was so smitten by Rishi Kapoor that she would eagerly wait for him to return from his shoots abroad, knowing that he would always bring back a special gift for her.
Raveena’s attachment to Rishi Kapoor was so deep that when she heard the news of his marriage to Neetu Singh, her young heart couldn’t handle it. She confessed that she was extremely upset and even refused to attend the wedding. “I thought that now Chintu Ji is gone from my hands,” Raveena recalled with a smile. Despite her initial reluctance, she did attend the wedding, although there’s a famous photo from the event where little Raveena can be seen with a sulky expression.
A Special Bond with Rishi Kapoor
Even after his marriage, Rishi Kapoor didn’t forget his little fan. Raveena shared how he continued to shower her with affection, bringing her a special gift from Paris after his wedding. The actor gifted her an expensive doll that could walk and talk, which made Raveena’s day and helped heal her broken heart. This gesture cemented the special bond that Raveena had with Rishi Kapoor, a bond that she cherishes to this day.

Raveena’s Connection with Sanjay Dutt and Her Fights with Salman Khan
In addition to the Rishi Kapoor story, Raveena also revealed an interesting fact about her film career. She mentioned that she has done the most films not with Aamir Khan or Salman Khan, as one might expect, but with Sanjay Dutt. “I have done 9 to 11 films with Sanju,” Raveena said, adding that one of their recent films was released on an OTT platform. Despite working extensively with Sanjay Dutt, she also enjoyed working with Aamir Khan, although she joked about how they would often bump into each other on sets and exclaim, “Oh, you again!”
Raveena also reminisced about her playful fights with Salman Khan during their early days of filming together. She described how they used to argue like children over trivial things like chewing gum and ice cream. Despite these silly arguments, Raveena and Salman have remained close friends, and their bond has only grown stronger over the years.
