When asked what he thinks of Andaz Apna Apna, Aamir reminisced about the time when the film was being shot and described it as a 'tough time'. He said, "We had a lovely time. Also, have to say it was also a tough time because I was the only actor who used to come on time. Karisma aati thi toh Raveena chali jati thi. Bahut mushkil se woh film bani thi (Karisma used to come for shoot and leave, and then Raveena would come. It was a challenge to shoot it)."
Rift between Raveena and Karisma
He recalled that there was some tension between Raveena and Karisma and said, "Don't know if I should say this. Raveena and Karisma ka anban chal raha tha. Main sochta tha ki ye film kaise khatam hogi. Ek saath log shoot nahi kar paa rahe the (Raveena and Karisma were having some conflicts. I used to think how this film would ever be completed. People didn't want to shoot with each other). But I really believed in that film. It was so wacky and mad. We were at our peak, Salman and I, at the time. But the film didn't even run for a week. I was flummoxed because I thought it was a great film. But now I believe it is the number one film in home entertainment. Every generation has seen it, every generation wants to see it."

Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Vinay Kumar Sinha, Andaz Apna Apna is a comedy film starring Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Paresh Rawal (in a dual role), and Shakti Kapoor in key roles.
