Actress Raveena Tandon earned the moniker “Mast Mast Girl” of Bollywood. All thanks to her well-received performance in the song Tip Tip Barsa Paani. However, Shabbir Boxwala, the co-screenwriter and production designer for Mohra, said in an interview that Raveena declined to perform the song.

Shabbir claimed in an interview that Raveena was reluctant to perform the song. Because she believed her father wouldn’t enjoy it. Rajiv Rai, the director of the movie, eventually convinced her to perform the well-known song.

Shabbir was also asked how the producers got Raveena on board, because Divya Bharti was the original pick for the project.

He said, “Raveena had met Rajiv. She knew that it was a good project but she was apprehensive, as there was a peck in the Tip Tip Barsa Paani song. She said that her father won’t appreciate it. To which Rajiv said, ‘Don’t show the film to your dad’ (laughs)! Finally, she agreed.” Divya Bharti was signed for the film and even shot for it for five days. After a month Divya died after she allegedly fell from the balcony of her apartment in Mumbai.

In an earlier interview, Raveena talked about the iconic song. She said, “I was never comfortable doing provocative songs. But this time, I was convinced that it would be okay. And, it was. The song was fabulous and the choreography, though erotic, was never suggestive or vulgar. I’d never do anything even remotely off-colour in my entire career.”
