Raveena Tandon reveals Aamir Khan and Salman Khan were not talking to each other on Andaz Apna Apna set
"Do dost ek pyaale mein chai piyenge, isse pyaar badhta hai!" This dialogue from Rajkumar Santoshi's 1994 film Andaz Apna Apna made many of us believe in the concept of friendship. So much so, that it actually became one of the ways to prove how much our friends mean to us. Right? But, surprisingly Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, the actors who played Amar and Prem in the cult classic, that it is now, were not on talking terms on the sets. It may be hard to believe for all the fans, considering their amazing camaraderie on the big screens, but it is indeed true. Raveena Tandon, also part of the cult comedy, spilt the beans on how it was like to be on the set of Andaz Apna Apna.
In an interview to Hindustan Times, Raveena, who essayed the role of Karisma, impersonating Raveena Bajaj, in Santoshi's directorial venture, revealed that the atmosphere on sets was quite tense. Despite that, she had fun shooting with all the actors.
Turns out, Aamir and Salman were not on speaking terms, and either were Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor. Wait, there's more. Salman was not talking to Rajkumar Santoshi either.
"It was fun as while we were shooting, none of us were speaking to each other. Sabke jhagade chal rahe the. Aamir and Salman weren’t talking to each other. Karisma and I weren’t talking and neither were Salman and Rajji (Rajkumar Santoshi). I don’t know how that film got made. But, it shows we are damn good actors (laughs)," Raveena said.
Seriously, how did Andaz Apna Apna even get made? The rib-tickling dialogues, hilarious sequences and the amazing on-screen chemistry of the entire cast had us completely convinced that all was well on sets.
Raveena further revealed how Aamir and Salman tried to patch things up between Karisma and her while they were shooting for the climax. And director Rajkumar Santoshi was their accomplice.
Referring to the climax of Andaz Apna Apna, Raveena said, "The boys tried to bring Karisma and me together. In fact, in the climax, there’s a scene where Karishma and I are tied to a pillar. Rajji said, 'We won’t untie you, unless you talk to one another'. It was all so funny. I remember, while shooting scenes, we would all genuinely laugh a lot as the dialogues were so hilarious. Hamne maze bhi kiye aur jhagde bhi kiye."
Raveena also said that even after 25 years of the film's release, the actress shares a good bond with the cast, especially Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.
Andaz Apna Apna recently completed 25 years and even after two and a half decades, the film continues to be a favourite. The film had tanked at the box office at the time of its release. But looking at how the film turned out to be a cult classic over the years, we can safely say it was way ahead of its time.
