Old interviews featuring actor Sanjay Kapoor and acclaimed actress Tabu have resurfaced on social media, reigniting discussions around their brief relationship during the early days of Sanjay’s Bollywood career.
The revelations, which date back to the mid-1990s, have recently gone viral on Reddit, drawing renewed attention to one of Bollywood’s lesser-known romantic chapters.
Sanjay Kapoor made his film debut in 1995 with Prem, a film that also starred Tabu. While the movie failed to make an impact at the box office, it played a significant role in shaping personal relationships behind the scenes.
Sanjay Kapoor on Dating Tabu During His Debut Film
In an old interview with ETimes, Sanjay Kapoor candidly spoke about being romantically involved with Tabu during the shoot of Prem. He admitted that the relationship did not last long and ended even before the film’s release.
‘I was dating Tabu at that time initially, but by the end of it (Prem), we were not talking to each other. It was finally released when I was 31 and would joke and say, ‘I am the oldest newcomer.’ But this was destiny. Prem did not work, but within 4 weeks, ‘Raja’ released with Madhuri Dixit and that became a blockbuster,” he said.
