Raveena Tandon has been in the industry for three decades. She was one of the most successful actresses in the 90s and has balanced her career by featuring in commercial masala entertainers as well as in movies that gave her immense scope to perform and showcase her acting talent.
Today (26th October 2021), Tandon celebrates her 47th birthday, so let’s look at the list of songs of the actress that will instantly make you miss the 90s…
Tip Tip Barsa Pani (Mohra – 1994)
If we talk about songs of Tandon from the 90s we have to start the list with Tip Tip Barsa Pani from the movie Mohra. It is clearly one of the most seductive songs we have seen in Bollywood and Tandon looked super hot in that yellow saree. Her sizzling chemistry with Akshay Kumar was the highlight of the song.
Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast (Mohra – 1994)
Here’s one more song on the list from Mohra. Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast is undoubtedly one of the most famous tracks of Tandon. After the song was released she was called the Mast Mast Girl of Bollywood. Tandon’s thumkas surely stole our hearts.
Shehar Ki Ladki (Rakshak – 1996)
Tandon was undoubtedly one of the most glamorous actresses of the 90s. In the track, Shehar Ki Ladki from Rakshak, we got to see her donning different avatars, and we have to say that she carried all the looks perfectly. Also, in the track, her dance moves were damn good.
Akhiyon Se Goli Mare (Dulhe Raja – 1998)
Govinda is one of the best dancers we have in Bollywood and his expressions are always perfect. When Tandon and Govinda teamed up for Dulhe Raja, we all expected some good songs in it and were not disappointed. The track Akhiyon Se Goli Mare is one of the most popular tracks of both the actors and we still love to watch the song.
Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye (Bade Miyan Chote Miyan – 1998)
After Dulhe Raja, in the same year (1998), Govinda and Tandon were seen together in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The song Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye from the movie was a chartbuster and the hook step of the track was a rage.
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
