Akshay Kumar was flirtatious
Furthermore, she recalled working with Akshay in Khiladi and said, "Kaafi girlfriends thi uski (He had many girlfriends). I know of his two or three lovely girlfriends, but I can¡¯t say how many more he dated. On set, he was always very nice to work with." She also clarified that Akki might not have date many girls simultaneously. "He would act so naive, but later we heard so many stories about him."
In the same interview, Guddi also rubbished rumours about Divya Bharti's murder and allegations against her husband Sajid Nadiadwala. She revealed, "She died on the night of April 5 and April 4 is my birthday. So, we all were partying together - Govinda, Divya, Sajid and others. She was okay at the party but I felt she was a little sad. She had to go for an outdoor shoot but she didn¡¯t want to."
For the unversed, Divya had died in 1993 after falling off her apartment at the age of 19.
