At one point of time, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Tabu were one of the most talked about couples in the film industry. It was said that they were reportedly in a relationship for a decade. He was married to Amala Akkineni when he was rumored to be dating her co-star and close friend Tabu. In those days, even though both remained silent about their relationship, but they answered it and told about their special friendship.
In an interview in 2017, Nagarjuna had said that his ‘face lights up’ as soon as Tabu’s name comes up. In an interview with Times of India, Nagarjuna talked about his relationship with Tabu and said, “Yes, Tabu is a wonderful friend of mine. Our friendship goes back to when I was 21 or 22 and she was just 16. That’s almost half a life… The less said about our friendship, the better. I have nothing to hide about him. When you mention his name, my face lights up… (laughs). It is very simple. Now, when I say things like that, if you want to read this, that’s your perspective… To me, he’s a beautiful person, and a beautiful friend. She always will.”
In 2007, on an episode of Karan Johar’s chat show, Koffee with Karan, Tabu opened up about her dating rumors with Nagarjuna. He called the actor ‘one of the closest people in his life’. The actress said of their alleged relationship, “He is one of the most important relationships I have. My relationship with him is very dear to me, and nothing can ever replace or replace my relationship with him.” I don’t have a label for it and I can’t do anything about it.”
