Cinema VinesRumours that Bollywood pair Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor were at odds on film sets have lingered for years, largely sparked by Farah Khan’s remarks on a Koffee With Karan episode. The two actresses, who first shared the screen in the 1994 comedy Andaz Apna Apna, recently put those speculations to rest during a reunion on Sony’s India’s Best Dancer Season 5, where Karisma serves as a judge and Raveena appeared as a special guest.
During the show, the pair reflected on their early days together. Raveena recalled the difficulty of keeping a straight face during some of the film’s most iconic scenes, even laughing on camera when Aamir Khan’s character receives a phone call from a kidnapper. She also noted that, despite working closely with Aamir, Salman Khan and Karisma, the four of them rarely spoke off‑camera, yet their shared passion for cinema helped them overcome any friction.
One memory that stands out for Raveena was a night shoot where she and Karisma were tied to a pillar during a dinner break. While everyone else had gone to lunch, the two actresses were left alone, waiting to be untied. Raveena broke the silence by asking, “Juice piyegi?” (Do you want juice?) and Karisma replied, “Yeah, I want, I am very hungry.” That simple question, she said, opened the door to conversation and friendship.
Both actresses also credited the song “Yeh Raat Aur Yeh Doorie” shot at Mehboob Studio as a turning point that helped them settle into the film and feel comfortable with one another. Karisma described it as a “settling‑in” number that required energy, comedy and flow, and she recalled how the entire cast was nervous yet excited to work with director Rajkumar Santoshi.
Farah Khan’s earlier comments about a “worst fight” between the two on the set of Aatish: Feel The Fire in 1994 added fuel to the rumours. She described a childish altercation involving wigs and heels, suggesting that the incident would now be a source of laughter. Raveena later addressed these rumours on Farah Khan’s YouTube channel in May 2025, confirming that the tension had long since faded.
