Salman Khan and Raveena Tandon have worked together in Patthar Ke Phool, Andaz Apna Apna and Kahin Pyaar Na Hojaye for a cameo role. As we speak of their pairing together, recently, during an online session with Kiran Joneja, the actress recalled the time when she encountered Salman Khan and how she ended up doing her first film with Salman in Patthar Ke Phool. Recalling the day, she told that one fine day, a friend of her’s called Bunty, who also happened to be a friend of Salman’s, called her up and asked her if she was around as he wanted her to meet someone.
He told her to come there and say hi because Khan was in the neighbourhood. When Raveena went out to meet him, she saw that Salman Khan was sitting in the car with Bunty. However, during that time, Salman was looking for a new girl who can star in producer GP Sippy film and his friend told him that he should take Raveena for the role.
She said, “I said yes, my friends were more excited than I was doing a film with Salman Khan and they said, ‘Iske baad tujhe picture nahi karni toh na bol de par yeh to kar (If you don’t want to do another movie after this it’s fine, but at least do this one).”
In an earlier interview to Mid-Day, Raveena, who was a judge on Nach Baliye 9, had spoken about the episode in which Salman had appeared. She said, “He told everyone that he knows me since the last 120 years. There’s a comfort factor with him. We spoke non-stop on the set, but when the episode was telecast, I realised that they had edited out a major chunk due to time constraints. We then told each other, ‘Why did we talk so much?’”
