"Cognac sharaab nahin hoti!": Behind the Scenes of Chandni's memorable dialogue

Reflecting on one of the funniest scenes in the movie, Rishi Kapoor talks about how he, Sridevi and Yash Chopra improvised scenes on location in Switzerland. 

Rishi Kapoor, "Yashji gave us a free-hand in the film, leaving a lot of room for improvisation. It worked well since I like to be spontaneous and improvise on set, and so does Sridevi. She contributed a great deal towards making scenes work. The 'Cognac sharab nahin hoti' sequence, for instance, was entirely improvised. it was not in the original script. It was made up on the spot by Yashji, Sridevi and me."
