Actor Raveena Tandon is undoubtedly one of the most iconic Bollywood beauties of our country. She’s one in a million, may it be her grace or her ada, from the way she walks to the way she talks, she’s unmatchable. Not just the Indian audience but even rapper Badshah is a huge fan of Raveena’s. So much so that he wrote a song about her! We are talking about Kar Gayi Chull, picturised on Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra in the 2016 film Kapoor & Sons. But did you know Raveena was asked for permission before her name was added to the song? It wasn’t difficult, since Raveena was also a fan of Badshah.

Recently Raveena Tandon graced the finale of Indian Idol 15 as a special guest, where she revealed that Karan Johar had called her before Kar Gayi Chull released. She shared, “Honestly, mujhe nahi pata tha aise aane waala hain. Mujhe pata hain Karan (Johar) ne call kiya and hum toh inke (Badshah) bohot bade fan the hi. I used to listen to all his raps, it was so cool. So Karan said he wanted my permission to use my name in the song. Maine kaha ‘How sweet! Of course use it’. He said, ‘Pehle Anil Thadani (Raveena’s husband) ka kya hoga. Wo mujhe marega toh nahi? Tu Pehle Anil se pooch le if it’s okay to use your name’.”

How cool would it be if Raveena and Badshah collaborated for a new music video this year! We can predict a banger already.
