Actor Arshad Warsi, who started his career as a choreographer in Anil Kapoor and Sridevi's 1993 film Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, marked his acting debut with Tere Mere Sapne in 1996. While celebrities pick comfortable outfits during travel these days, there was a time when Jaya Bachchan called out Arshad for the same and asked him to dress properly.

During a recent interview on UNFILTERED by Samdish, Arshad Warsi shared a hilarious anecdote of receiving feedback from Jaya Bachchan about his airport look during his initial days in Bollywood. Arshad recalled that he was once traveling to Hyderabad in comfortable clothes and later received a message from Jaya to "dress appropriately."

Arshad was shooting for his first movie, Tere Mere Sapne, when the incident happened. The Welcome To The Jungle actor recalled that he was a newcomer in Bollywood and "came from a different world."

“We had to go to Hyderabad to shoot, and I sat on the flight wearing chaddi and baniyan. Pehle toh vaise hi ghoomte the, dance-vance karte the (We used to wear such clothes earlier. We were dancers)," the Golmaal actor said.

Arshad Warsi further remembered Jaya Bachchan expressing disappointment when she learned about it and sent a message to his team. Recalling her words, Arshad said, "Please tell Mr Warsi to dress appropriately while he travels."
