Tabu and Sanjay Kapoor

Even though Sanjay Kapoor, who comes from a well-known Bollywood family, didn't succeed in the movie business, he was able to charm and win the hearts of everyone with his wonderful looks. And Tabu, who was paired opposite him in Prem movie, his directorial debut, couldn't resist his charm. 

Sanjay was Tabu's first significant relationship, and the two had begun dating as they worked on their movie together. Nobody is sure what went wrong, but by the time the movie's production was up, the two actors were no longer friendly. 

In an interview with The Times Of India, Sanjay made the following comments on their brief relationship: I had been dating Tabu at the time, but at the end of it, we had stopped communicating.

Tabu and Sajid Nadiadwala

Sajid Nadiadwala, a director and producer, was the next man in Tabu's life. When Divya Bharti, Sajid's wife, was alive, Tabu was close to her but had no sentiments for him.

Likewise, following the actress' passing, it might be true that her sympathy had developed into love. Sajid and Tabu have always been close friends, and their relationship only developed as a result of their collaboration in the movie Jeet. Tabu and Sajid made a point of being together frequently, and she even saw a future with him. 

Sajid still harbored feelings for his late wife Divya, therefore he was hesitant to dedicate his life to Tabu. Tabu had accepted the situation, but she wanted Sajid to explain so that he could put his past behind him and concentrate on their love. 

Tabu and Akkineni Nagarjuna

The hardest lesson, which few people have the fortitude to face, was imparted to Tabu by the third guy in her life. She had an affair with Akkineni Nagarjuna, a popular actor in the South. He was the subject of a very unpleasant affair with Tabu. 

When Nagarjuna began dating Tabu, he was already married. Nagarjuna and Tabu were never outspoken about it. Tabu came to the realization that this man would not leave his wife after ten committed years of marriage. As a result, Tabu decided to end her relationship with him. Nagarjuna was reluctant to make a third marriage commitment because of his previous two marriages. Tabu was looking for security in her relationship.
Nagarjuna and Tabu eventually split up, but his second wife Amala gets along well with her husband's rumored ex. 

Nagarjuna stated that Tabu will always be his beautiful companion in an interview with The Times Of India: Tabu is a great friend of mine, yes. Since I was 21 or 22 and she was only 16 years old, our friendship had a long history. That resembles virtually a half-life... Whatever is said about our friendship is less. Regarding her, I have nothing to conceal. My face glows when you speak her name.. (laughs). That's how easy it is. Now, if you want to read anything into what I say when I say stuff like that, that is your choice. I see her as a beautiful friend.
