00:00 In 1993, Govinda and Chunky Pandey's hit comedy film 'Aankhen' made a lot of viewers laugh.
00:07 Divya Bharti was cast in this film first.
00:11 Divya Bharti was cast opposite Chunky Pandey in this film.
00:15 But Divya didn't like her casting with Chunky Pandey.
00:19 And she asked the producer of this film, Pahlaj Nihalani, to cast her opposite Govinda.
00:25 But Pahlaj Nihalani didn't do that and cast Rageshwari in the film instead.
00:31 Pahlaj Nihalani has summarized this.
00:35 Pahlaj has said that,
00:37 "Divya was going to do Pooja Bhatt and Juhi Chawla.
00:41 I decided that Divya should be cast with Chunky and Ritu Shivpuri should be cast with Govinda.
00:48 When David told Divya about this, she got worried.
00:51 She called me and said, 'I will do this, I will do that.'
00:55 And started threatening me, showing attitude because she considered me as her family.
01:00 She showed a lot of anger and called me.
01:03 I went to meet her and she said, 'I have heard that I am opposite Chunky.'
01:07 I said yes. Then she said, 'I will not do this film.
01:10 You take Govinda and me and make some other film.
01:13 Cast someone else in this film instead of me.'
01:17 After this, Pahlaj cast Rageshwari opposite Chunky Pandey in this film.
01:22 Pahlaj also said that,
01:25 "Divya Bharti was a little heavy in the film Shola and Shabnam.
01:29 So, he asked the actress to reduce her weight.
01:32 Divya joined this film after half of the shooting was over.
01:36 Pahlaj said, "We had not started the film shooting yet.
01:40 She contacted me through a secretary.
01:43 I saw her pictures and felt that she was looking a little fat.
01:47 I told the secretary that she will have to reduce her weight before starting the work.
01:51 Meanwhile, we started shooting.
01:53 Divya joined the production when only five days were left.
01:57 The whole film was made without the heroine.
02:00 This was the first time I met her personally.
02:03 And when I saw her, I liked her.
02:06 After this, she signed many films immediately.
