Raveena Tandon confronts Farah Khan for talking about her fight with Karisma Kapoor, denies involvement: ‘It was classroom politics’

Raveena Tandon confronted Farah Khan for talking about her infamous fight with Karisma Kapoor on Koffee With Karan.

Karisma Kapoor and Raveena TandonKarisma Kapoor and Raveena Tandon were not on talking terms on the set of Aatish and Andaz Apna Apna.

In her latest vlog, Farah Khan visited Raveena Tandon’s farmhouse along with her cook, Dilip. During an interaction between the two, Raveena confronted Farah for talking about her infamous fight with Karisma Kapoor. Raveena and Karisma reportedly had a spat during the shooting of the 1994 films Andaz Apna Apna and Aatish.

Raveena questioned Farah and said, “You went everywhere and said that fights were happening on set. When did we fight?” Farah maintained her stance and responded that it was “true.” When Raveena asked about her own involvement in the fight, Farah clarified that the actor “didn’t do anything” to anyone. Raveena further added, “What did I do? I was sitting with dancers who were my friends and they were sharing non-veg jokes.”

Farah quickly changed the subject and said, “Now everyone’s kids are going in the same school and we keep meeting on annual days.” Raveena agreed, saying, “We were also kids at that time. We were 20-21 years old. It was classroom politics and we had to face that.”

They then talked about the current generation of actors and whether they have conflicts among themselves, Farah refused the notion and said, “These days they are all sterile.” Raveena disagreed, saying, “No, these things still happen, not that frequently, but they do happen.” She also pointed out that like today’s actors are constantly surrounded by paparazzi and need to maintain a good public image, actors from the previous generation also faced intense media scrutiny that often led to sensational headlines. She also noted that since actors back then didn’t have social media, they lacked the platform to share their side of the story directly with fans, a benefit that today’s actors have.

Earlier, during her appearance on Koffee with Karan in 2007, Farah had addressed the fight between Karisma and Raveena and said, “I was once doing a song with Karisma Kapoor and Raveena Tandon, long ago, in a film called Aatish. They were both having some kind of teenage spat. They were hitting each other with their wigs.”

She continued, “They were wearing these wigs with plaits and beads in them. One was hitting, the other was stamping her foot with her heel. It was quite childish. I am sure they will laugh about it now.”

In a 2012 interview, Raveena had shared that things between her and Karisma eventually normalised, especially since their daughters — Rasha Thadani and Samaira Kapoor — attended the same school. “Since our girls go to the same school, we end up bumping into each other and have bonded well. It’s easier to hang out and discuss our kids,” she had said.
