She said, "You went everywhere and said that fights were happening on set. When did we fight? What did I do? I was sitting with dancers who were my friends, and they were sharing non-veg jokes."advertisementFarah responded and stated, "Now everyone's kids are going to the same school, and we keep meeting on annual days." The actor replied, "We were also kids at that time. We were 20-21 years old. It was classroom politics, and we had to face that." Farah had previously spoken about the incident during an episode of Koffee With Karan in 2007. When Karan Johar asked, "Which is the worst fight you have seen between two actresses?" Farah recalled, "I was once doing a song with Karisma Kapoor and Raveena Tandon, long ago, in a film called 'Aatish.' They were both having some kind of teenage spat. They were hitting each other with their wigs. They were wearing these wigs with plaits and beads in it. One was hitting, the other was stamping her foot with her heel. It was quite childish. I am sure they will laugh about it now."advertisementIn a recent interview with India Today, Aamir said, "We had a lovely time. Also, I have to say it was also a tough time because I was the only actor who used to come on time. Karisma aati thi toh Raveena chali jati thi. Bahut mushkil se woh film bani thi (Karisma used to come to shoot and leave, and then Raveena would come. It was a challenge to shoot it)."In one of her previous interviews with Lehren Retro, Raveena spoke about being replaced by Karisma in 'Sajan Chale Sasural.' She stated that, "I have always believed in healthy competition because that brings out the best in you. But I am not a cutthroat person, nobody can say Raveena got me removed from a project or Raveena refused to work with a newcomer. I have never done that kind of politics and groupism but others have blatantly done politics against me. I was supposed to do 'Saajan Chale Sasural' with David Dhawan and Govinda and they told me this later. I had even signed 'Vijaypath', I lost the film."Raveen and Karisma worked together in movies like 'Andaz Apna Apna' and 'Aatish.'Raveena was last seen in the show 'Karmma Calling', streaming on Watch IN THIS STORY#Raveena Tandon#Karisma Kapoor#Farah Khan

Paresh Rawal says he's forever grateful to Rajkumar Santoshi for Andaaz Apna Apna: ‘I used to play bohot gatiya kism ke villain'
Long before Paresh Rawal found his comedic rhythm with director Priyadarshan in a series of laugh riots, he had already built an enviable reputation working with some of Bollywood's finest comedy filmmakers — from David Dhawan to Rajkumar Santoshi. With films like Haseena Maan Jayegi, Hero No. 1, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and the now cult-classic Andaaz Apna Apna, Paresh had carved a space for himself in the hearts of audiences through his superb comic timing. Now, as Andaaz Apna Apna gears up for a theatrical re-release, Paresh reflected on the film's making in a conversation with Radio Nasha, offering fans a peek into its behind-the-scenes magic — particularly the unforgettable kidnapping scene. Speaking about the sequence, Paresh revealed it was shot in a single take. 'Phir chahe woh Rajkumar Santoshi ho ya phir David Dhawan ho, woh log comedy ke scenes mein zyada cut nahi karte hai… single shot hi rakhte hai… jiss wajah se aapko theatre ki feel aati hai,' (Whether it's Rajkumar Santoshi or David Dhawan, they don't use too many cuts in comic scenes… they prefer single shots… which is why it feels like live theatre.) He compared this approach to performing on stage, crediting it for the natural energy and chemistry between actors that makes such scenes memorable. 'Some of the dialogues in that scene were crackling,' he said, adding that it was all thanks to the organic give-and-take between him, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. When asked about the enduring popularity of his character in the film, Paresh humbly credited the writers and directors for taking a chance on him. 'Unn dino mein main toh bohot gatiya kism ke villain roles kar raha tha… so iss kism ka role milna… I'm forever grateful to Rajkumar Santoshi.' (Back then, I used to do some really terrible villainous roles… so getting a role like this… I'm forever grateful to Rajkumar Santoshi.) But perhaps the most surprising revelation? Rawal admitted he has never watched the full film. 'I've never watched the full film… never got the chance.' But with the re-release set for April 25, he will definitely try checking it out.

Shehzad Khan recalls 'Andaz Apna Apna' set life with Salman and Aamir: No vans, we'd sit under umbrellas
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Veteran actor Shehzad Khan , best known for his role as Bhalla in ' Andaz Apna Apna ', took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he recalled the humble shooting conditions of the cult 1994 classic. Sharing behind-the-scenes moments, he revealed that big stars like Salman Khan and Aamir Khan didn't have the luxury of makeup vans back then - instead, they'd prepare for their scenes under umbrellas or in cramped makeup rooms. Revealing the same, Shehzad told IANS, "The entire shoot is a nostalgic journey for me. I remember we didn't have makeup vans back then. We'd sit under umbrellas or in small makeup rooms, pulling each other's legs. One memorable moment was when we were returning from Ooty to Bombay. We got stuck at Coimbatore airport due to a delayed flight. That was one of the most fun, unforgettable times. We laughed like crazy. The people there recognized Salman and Aamir-it was such a joyful experience." Talking about the film's re-release, Shehzad expressed his excitement, saying, "Yes, Andaaz Apna Apna is being re-released, and I must say, I'm even more excited about this than I was back in 1994 when it first hit the screens. I truly want today's generation-the kids and the current audience-to experience what real, pure comedy looks like." When asked how he landed the role and what the shooting atmosphere was like, Shehzad Khan recalled that working on 'Andaz Apna Apna' felt less like a job and more like a picnic. "Aamir, Salman, and I were from the same age group and the same area. I knew Salman even before our film careers began-my father, Mr. Ajit, was the one who brought his father, Salim Khan, from Indore to Bombay. So, there was already a deep connection," he shared. The Rajkumar Santoshi-directed film first hit theatres on November 14, 1994. The romantic comedy written by Santoshi and produced by Vinay Kumar Sinha also starred Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Paresh Rawal (in a dual role), and Shakti Kapoor. "Andaz Apna Apna" is set to hit cinemas once again on April 25, 2025. On April 1, the production house Vinay Pictures announced the news on social media, stating, "Get ready to relive the madness. Andaz Apna Apna re-releasing in cinemas on 25th April 2025. Experience the cult classic on the big screen. Restored & Remastered in 4K & Dolby out soon."
