When Tanya Deol allegedly slapped Kareena Kapoor
In the early 2000s, there were speculations about a tiff between Tanya Deol and Bollywood actress, Kareena Kapoor. Kareena Kapoor and Tanya Deol’s fight began during the shooting of the film, Ajnabee. While actress, Bipasha Basu was new to the industry, Tanya decided to support her by helping her with the costumes for Ajnabee. However, Tanya’s act didn’t go down well with Kareena Kapoor’s mom, Babita.
Babita allegedly went to Tanya and schooled her for helping the newcomer, Bipasha Basu, with the costumes. Tanya didn’t like the way Babita approached her and gave a befitting response to her. At this point, Kareena stepped in and had a heated argument with Tanya. Between the arguments, Tanya lost her cool and allegedly slapped Kareena.
Though Kareena never talked about the slapgate controversy, she accepted that there was a problem between her and Tanya Deol. In a throwback interview with Filmfare, Kareena shared:
“Actually, there was a problem with his (Bobby Deol) wife, Tanya. She didn’t behave properly with my mother. And I didn’t like that. I don’t deny a problem with Bobby’s wife. But I’m sure my problems with Bobby can be sorted out. There’s no negativity from my end.”
Bobby Deol’s love story with Tanya Deol

Bobby tried to woo Tanya through many attempts, which included purposely getting defeated by her at a game of cards and even hunting for her phone number frantically, only to end up calling her anonymously in the middle of the night. Finally, they fell in love and got married in a big fat Punjabi wedding.

Bobby Deol had become an overnight sensation after his debut film, Barsaat. Although he had proved his mettle in acting with films like Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, Kareeb, Gupt: The Hidden Truth, and Bichhoo, the actor was unable to cope with the competition. As a result, he had started getting replaced by newcomers.
Despite the bad phase of his life, Bobby had bounced back and had begun his second innings. Both critics and audiences lauded his comeback as the mute psychopath, ‘Abrar Haque’ in Animal. Despite having no dialogue, he let his character stand out. Even during his tough times, it was Tanya who stood like a pillar of strength for Bobby. In a conversation with the Humans Of Bombay, he talked about Tanya and said:
“She’s the best thing that happened to me, I honestly feel what I have been through in my journey, if it’d be someone else, they would have left me by now.”
