  • However, in April 2023, when Rajat Sharma asked him questions about his relationship with Nagma, Ravi rejected the claims and said, "When actors work with the same actress on multiple projects, people assume something is brewing. However, this was not the case. We used to do films together and our films used to be blockbusters. We were friends and had a cordial relationship. Moreover, everyone knew that I was married."
