Raveena Tandon’s first meeting with young Ranveer Singh

In an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, host and comedian Kapil Sharma asked Raveena to share why Ranveer was thrown out from the set of Mohra. Raveena said, “He’s a friend; he’s very sweet. But I just didn’t know him back then. So, we were shooting for a rain sequence for the song Tip Tip Barsa Paani. We usually don’t allow guests to be on the set during that time as there’s a certain discomfort during intimate scenes,” Raveena said.
