Twinkle Khanna reveals she was once asked by a director if she can ‘do a Mandakini’ for a rain song – Times of India

Twinkle Khanna, who is known for her outspokenness, recently revealed an unpleasant encounter with a director. She said that the director suggested that she should ‘do a Mandakini’ for a song scene where she will be wearing a see-through outfit.

While chatting with veteran actress Waheeda Rehman, the former actress made the revelation. Twinkle reacted to Waheeda Rehman’s story about being mistreated by director Raj Khosla on a film set.

Sharing on Tweak India’s channel, Twinkle said, “I also had something similar, but a little more graphic. I was wearing a white kurta, and ready for the quintessential rain song, and the director comes with a shawl wrapped around, imitating Guru Dutt. And he says, ‘If I tell you to do a Mandakini, what will you say?’ I said I will say two things. First, I will say ‘no’, and secondly, ‘You’re not Raj Kapoor’. After that, he never spoke to me, he never repeated me and it was horrible.

Twinkle was seen opposite Aamir Khan in ‘Mela’. She appeared in a rain song in the film, which was directed by Dharmesh Darshan, who was known to wear shawls. The film, which also starred Faissal Khan, didn’t perform well at the box office.

Sharing a teaser video of her interview with Waheeda Rehman, Twinkle took to Instagram and wrote, “We have been saving some gems for our anniversary and this one is truly special! A wonderful conversation with the iconic Waheeda Rehman. The epitome of wisdom and wit threw in some fun imitations for us as well.”
