Twinkle Khanna recalls being asked to ‘do Mandakini for rain-song sequence’ by director

Former actress Twinkle Khanna, during a conversation with veteran actress Waheeda Rehman, recalled having a fallout with a filmmaker who made an unsavory suggestion to her.

Twinkle, who is known for her outspokenness, revealed that the director approached her suggesting that she should do a ‘Mandakini’ for a rain-song sequence, implying that she should wear see-through clothes.

Twinkle revealed it while she was responding to Waheeda Rehman’s story about being mistreated by director Raj Khosla on a film.

Twinkle told, “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, Twinkle said, ‘he never spoke to me, he never repeated me, and it was horrible’. But one has to stand one’s ground, she said. Twinkle appeared in a rain song in the film Mela, directed by Dharmesh Darshan, who was known to wear shawls.

Twinkle was last seen on the big screen in Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega in 2001. In a tweet in 2016, Twinkle Khanna made her break-up with acting official, writing she isn’t returning to her “legendary acting skills.”

She is now an established author with her books, Mrs Funnybones and The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad, being bestsellers.

During her book launch event in 2018, Twinkle made fun of her acting skills and said, “I have not given any hit film. Whatever films I have done should be banned and (no one should watch) it. Most of the time, I pretend I have Alzheimer’s and I don’t remember my film career and it makes me happy that way.”
