Raveena Tandon Reveals She Rejected Darr and Prem Qaidi Over Scene, Costume Concerns

On the ANI podcast, she says she declined because certain scenes or wardrobe made her uncomfortable.

Overview

  • Speaking on ANI's podcast with Smita Prakash, Tandon said the 1993 Yash Chopra thriller Darr was first offered to her.
  • She declined after refusing to wear a swimming costume and said a few early scenes made her uneasy.
  • Tandon added that Prem Qaidi was initially offered to her, but she passed because of a zipper scene that exposed a strap.
  • The roles ultimately went to Juhi Chawla in Darr and launched Karisma Kapoor with Prem Qaidi.
  • She said she was then uncomfortable with physical proximity, as Darr later became a defining 1990s title for Shah Rukh Khan.
