Raveena Tandon spoke about issues ranging from body shaming to toxic gossip magazines which could ruin someone's career.
Raveena Tandon, who is one of the biggest Bollywood actresses, won millions of hearts with her films and songs during the 90s. Even when her iconic number Tip Tip Barsa Paani has been recreated by a leading actor Katrina Kaif of the recent generation.
In her recent interview, Raveena spoke about issues ranging from body shaming to toxic gossip magazines which could ruin someone's career. While On being asked about the gossip magazines of the bygone eras, Raveena said quite unambiguously, "90s gossip magazines were the worst. And some of those women, now I see, roaming around today carrying the women's lib badge over their heads and hearts, who were the worst enemies of women, who body-shamed women, slut shamed women and would do everything possible to bring another woman down. Today they roam around being as biggest feminists, I wonder when did that happen? If I start telling stories about them....(chuckles)."
Very few people know that the actress was body-shamed in the industry. While speaking about the same, the Daman actor said, "No no, Please I was called a lot of things. 90s ke kholo, TTs, thunder thighs...miss this and miss that..."
The actor continued, "I was plump actually. Started at 16 and a half years, and I was full of baby fat yaar... which still hasn't gone. Though I don't care now, I am being like that, I am like that, too bad! " Being told that she is exaggerating the facts, Raveena said, "I remember some of these titles. And not only me, but some other heroines are also called that. Besides that, instead of supporting women, what they did was...firstly all these women editors would fall in love with the heroes. And what the heroes said were the last words. If he wanted to pan a woman, the woman would be panned, shamed, literally, her career ruined in the magazines with nasty articles being put out about her. There were so many untrue articles put out because some hero went and said, 'Acha, uske bare me aab aisa likh do... and it would be the last word. And if there would be an apology, that would be on the last line of some other issues of the magazine, it would be written 'the story carried earlier ultimately proved not to be true'. And who will read that then? At that time the screaming headlines already made the news, right?"
Raveena concluded that she was utterly displeased with the 'viciousness' of 90s journalism and decided to take a break after her marriage.
