She feels very connected with Ajay in the industry and even worked in several films with him, such as Drishyam, Golmaal Again, Vijaypath, Haqeeqat, De De Pyaar De and Jawaani Jaaneman. Some reports state that Ajay had a major crush on Tabu and they even dated for a few years.
Though the actress remains single as of now, she had some interesting affairs with Bollywood stars. Tabu and Sanjay Kapoor started dating during their debut film “Prem” shooting but shortly before the end of shooting, both stopped talking to each other. Tabu and director-producer Sajid Nadiadwala dated each other during their film “Jeet” but ended their relationship due to Sajid’s indecisiveness. Soon, she fell for Akkineni Nagarjuna, who already married his second wife. After dating for 10 years, they fell apart because Tabu realized Nagarjuna won’t marry her. Before marrying Kajol, even Ajay fell for Raveena Tandon and Karishma Kapoor. During the “Dilwale” shooting, Raveena and Ajay became close and started their affair but Ajay dumped her later for Karishma Kapoor. He then dated Kajol for a few years and married her. Even after their marriage, Kangana loved Ajay while working for “Once Upon A Time In Mumbai”.
