Twinkle appeared in a rain song in the film Mela, directed by Dharmesh Darshan, who was known to wear shawls. But one has to stand one's ground, she said. First, I will say ‘no’, and secondly, ‘You’re not Raj Kapoor'."Īfter that, Twinkle said, ‘he never spoke to me, he never repeated me, and it was horrible’.

And he says, ‘If I tell you to do a Mandakini, what will you say?’ I said I will say two things. 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. Twinkle said, "I also had something similar, but a little more graphic. She was responding to Waheeda Rehman's story about being mistreated by director Raj Khosla on a film. Twinkle made the revelation in a conversation with actor Waheeda Rehman, shared on the Tweak India YouTube channel.

Twinkle said that he suggested she should ‘do a Mandakini’ for a song sequence, implying that she should wear see-through clothes. Former actor Twinkle Khanna recalled an unsavoury encounter with a director, following which he refused to speak with her and never cast her again.
