• Raveena Tandon has accused Karisma Kapoor of firing her from films.
• Due to her influence, and is still friends with actors from the 1990s.
• Raveena was rumoured to be dating actor Ajay Devgn in the 1990s.

Raveena Tandon has previously claimed that she was fired from films because of Karisma Kapoor. The alleged feud between the two actors, who appeared together in films such as Andaz Apna Apna (1994), has sparked interest even today.

Raveena was asked about their current relationship in a recent interview, and the actor responded briefly that the two met socially.

In old interviews, Raveena, did not reveal the name of the actor, but seemingly slammed Karisma for using her influence to get her ‘kicked out of four films’.

In a recent interview, Raveena was asked to name actors from the 1990s with whom she was still friends. She adopted the names of Juhi Chawla, Madhuri Dixit, Shilpa Shetty, Sridevi, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Neelam, and Manisha Koirala.

Raveena Tandon told in an interview about her bond with them: “Whenever we all meet, we meet so warmly and there are times we party together, even in those days we used to… I used to go pick up Urmila and we used to go for the Holi parties together.” When Raveena was asked if Karisma was one of her friends from the film industry, the actor said, “We do meet socially, but I think she has her set circle (of friends).”

Raveena was rumoured to be dating actor Ajay Devgn in the 1990s, until they allegedly broke up and Ajay began dating Karisma Kapoor. “I won’t name the heroine, but because she was insecure she had me removed from four films. As a matter of fact, I was to do one of the films with her. She was closer to the producer and the hero apparently. So these things do happen, but I’m not into playing these sort of games.”

When the interviewer mentioned her ‘catfight’ with Karisma, and how she refused to pose with Raveena at a party, the actor replied, “It doesn’t make me a superstar if I pose with a Karisma Kapoor today. She doesn’t feature in my life in any which way. I’m a professional, I don’t care. I would pose with a broomstick if need be… Karisma and I are not the best of friends. Ditto with Ajay… Professionally I’m ready to work with Ajay or Karisma. Where work is concerned I don’t bother about these stupid ego problems.”

Later, on Koffee With Karan in 2007, filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan revealed that Raveena and Karisma’s fight was the “worst fight” she had ever seen.

She recounted a scene from Sanjay Gupta’s directorial debut Aatish: Feel The Fire (1994), in which Karan Johar asked her, “Which is the worst fight you have seen between two actresses?” “Which is the worst fight you have seen between two actresses?” Farah had 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. 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.”
