During an exclusive interaction with Pinkvilla for India's Best Dancer 4, Karisma walked down memory lane and shared some interesting trivia about her films and songs.
When Sachin Tendulkar visited the sets of Andaz Apna Apna on its Mahurat day
While seeing a monochrome picture from the sets of Andaz Apna Apna featuring her alongside co-star Salman Khan and director Rajkumar Santoshi, Karisma Kapoor recalled it was the film's mahurat shot. "I remember we were all so nervous. I think this was my first mahurat. In those days, this mahurat used to happen, and we had to do this live scene and say a few lines, and we used to be so nervous," she said.
When asked if she remembered the lines, she amusingly replied with a "No." Further recalling how the team was excited because Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar "graced the occasion," she said, "he was just this teen sensation."
Andaz Apna Apna also featured Aamir Khan and Raveena Tandon in the lead, along with Paresh Rawal, Shakti Kapoor, Viju Khote, and Tiku Talsania.
