In a recent interview, Raveena revealed that she was once offered a role opposite Shah Rukh Khan and had even signed the film, completing all the necessary paperwork.

However, things took a turn when the film's producer showed her the outfits she would be wearing in the movie.

Raveena explained that the costumes were extremely bold and unusual, making her feel uncomfortable.

"I just couldn’t see myself wearing those outfits and feeling at ease," she said, leading her to make the tough decision to walk away from the project.

When Shah Rukh Khan learned of her decision, he was taken aback and questioned her, asking, "Are you crazy? Why would you turn down the film after signing it?"

But after Raveena explained her reasons, Shah Rukh completely understood and supported her choice.

Praising the superstar, Raveena added, "Shah Rukh is incredibly polite, gentle, and quick-witted. My experience working with him in films has always been wonderful."
