Raveena Tandon reveals why she rejected AR Rahman's 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' song in Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Dil Se'

Raveena Tandon, who recently became a Padma Shri recipient, opened up about being approached for AR Rahman's song, 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Dil Se'. However, the actress chose not to take up the offer. It eventually went to Malaika Arora.

Talking about the same, Raveena told a news portal that she was offered the song shortly after her 'Rakshak' song ‘Sheher Ki Ladki’ became a hit. According to her, it was very easy to get stereotyped during those days. The actress added that not many people would know that she left a song like ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ because she had just done ‘Sheher Ki Ladki’. After that, she started getting offered only item songs, Raveena told Bollywood Bubble.
