In the often-unpredictable world of Bollywood, even seasoned stars can have their "oops" moments. Recently, veteran actor Sanjay Dutt found himself in a slightly awkward yet endearing situation when he seemingly failed to recognise Rasha Thadani, the daughter of his long-time co-star Raveena Tandon. The incident, captured on video, quickly made its way across social media, sparking amusement and conversation.
The photographers, however, mentioned they were also waiting to click another celebrity, a “nayi ladki" (newcomer). When Dutt enquired further, they revealed they were waiting for Rasha Thadani. Clearly puzzled, Dutt asked `kaun` (who?). Even after the paparazzi clarified she was “Raveena Tandon ki beti (Raveena Tandon’s daughter)”, Dutt initially appeared to draw a blank before nodding and saying, “Achha, jaao (Okay, go click her pictures).” Before driving off, Dutt also showed his concern for the photographers, asking if they had eaten.

The momentary lapse in recognition is particularly interesting given the extensive shared history between Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon.

More recently, they appeared in the blockbuster `KGF: Chapter 2` and the 2024 release `Ghudchadi`. Fans can look forward to seeing them together again in the upcoming comedy `Welcome to the Jungle`, which boasts a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar and Jacqueline Fernandez.
