Raveena Tandon was one of the few actresses who was offered Rani Mukerji's role as Tina in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai but she refused it. Now in a new interview, she spoke about why she chose not to do the film. Raveena also shared that one of the reasons that she chose to not do Dil Se바카라s Chaiyya Chaiyya was because she did not want to be labeled as the 바카라item girl'.
She tole ETimes, 바카라When Karan came to me for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, unfortunately, I was at a time when my career was zero. I was restarting entirely after the sabbatical and I was quite messed up and for me, it was something that I wanted바카라바카라 Raveena noted that it was a 바카라nice role바카라 but she was concerned that she would be playing a second lead to one of her contemporaries, Kajol, which wouldn바카라t have fared well for her career.
바카라It was very difficult for me to explain to Karan about the situation that I was in. I really regret that till date and we are still trying to work together,바카라 she said. Raveena said that had she done the role, she would have only been offered second leads in other films.
She added that she had just done Rakshak바카라s song 바카라Sheher Ki Ladki바카라 and she wanted to get back to the stardom that she had enjoyed with Mohra and Dilwale, where she was the solo lead and enjoyed author backed roles. 바카라I wanted to get back to that standing and unfortunately, what happened with me was after 바카라Sheher Ki Ladki바카라, I got offered so many 바카라item songs바카라 like they were called at that time,바카라 she said and recalled getting offered Dil Se바카라s Chaiyya Chaiyya.
바카라My biggest regret is also Chaiyya Chaiyya by the way. I hear 바카라Chaiyya Chaiyya바카라 and still get a pain in my heart. Mani sir called me, Shah Rukh had called me and said do this but i was getting stereotyped as an item girl.바카라
Apart from Raveena, Shilpa Shetty also refused 바카라Chaiyya Chaiyya바카라 and it was ultimately done by Malaika Arora.
