While
speaking
to
veteran
actress
Waheeda
Rehman
on
the
Tweak
India
YouTube
channel,
actress-turned-writer
Twinkle
Khanna
recalled
how
a
directed
had
insisted
her
to
imitate
Mandakini
while
shooting
for
a
rain
sequence
in
the
film.
Twinkle
was
responding
to
Rehman's
story
about
being
mistreated
by
director
Raj
Khosla
on
a
film
sets.
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'."
Twinkle
further
added
that
the
director
never
spoke
to
her
again.
While
Twinkle
didn't
reveal
director's
name,
one
can
assume
that
she
might
be
talking
about
Mela
director
Dharmesh
Darshan,
who
was
known
for
wearing
shawls.
During
the
same
interaction,
Waheeda
Rehman
also
recalled
how
Dev
Anand
took
a
stand
for
her,
when
she
was
rejected
for
Guide
and
made
sure
that
she
features
in
the
lead
role.
"When
we
were
discussing
Guide,
there
was
Chetan
Anand,
the
Hindi
director,
and
Tad
Danielewski,
the
English
director.
Both
of
them
didn't
want
me,
they
rejected
me.
They
didn't
like
my
face,
maybe.
And
also
they
said,
'Your
English
is
not
so
good'.
But
Dev
said,
'I
don't
care,
my
Rosie
is
only
Waheeda'."
Recalling
her
first
meet
with
the
Jewel
Thief
actor,
Waheeda
said,
"When
we
were
first
introduced,
I
said,
'Namaste,
Dev
saab'.
And
he
said,
'Dev
saab?
Who's
that?'"
