Tabu and Sanjay Kapoor had both begun their careers as leading actors in the 1995 film Prem. Directed by the late Satish Kaushik, Prem was a romantic drama with themes of reincarnation. While the movie's songs were a hit, Prem flopped at the box office. Recently, a throwback picture of the two actors, taken from a promotional shoot during the film, has gone viral for some very awkward reasons.

The picture shows a bare-bodied, clean-shaven Sanjay Kapoor on whose clearly hairy chest Tabu has rested her head on. While it was supposed to be an intimate pose, netizens cannot ignore the awkward look on Tabu's face. It looks as if she wants to be anywhere else but there.

We wish we could get inside Tabu's head and figure out what is happening there. Or maybe this picture goes viral so hard that Tabu and Sanjay Kapoor have no option but to react to this picture on social media.

With regard to Prem, before Satish Kaushik came in, the love story was supposed to be directed by Shekhar Kapur, but he left the project midway. Although this was Tabu's first signed film as the lead actress, Pehle Pehla Pyar with Rishi Kapoor came before. Both the movies didn't work at the box office.

It was Vijaypath that came the very same year, which became a breakout turn for the actress, while the National Award-winning turn in the 1996 film Maachis made the world take her seriously as an actress. While Sanjay Kapoor struggled to make it as a leading man post-Prem's debacle, he found more recognition and praise in his supporting roles.
