Raveena Tandon started her career in 1991 with the film ‘Patthar Ke Phool’. After this he never looked back. They are still a part of this dazzling world. Now she is showing her strength on the OTT platform also. His ‘Patna Shukla’ was released just a few days ago.
Raveena Tandon, who played the role of a rich Bollywood diva with gray shade in her previous web series ‘Karma Calling’, in her latest OTT film ‘Patna Shukla’, was seen in the opposite role of a moralistic middle class wife, mother and lawyer. We had a special conversation with Raveena, who is openly experimenting with her characters on OTT:In your second innings on OTT, you are playing a much more diverse character than Raveena of the nineties. Is it because now you don’t have to prove anything, don’t run in any race?
Actually, I had started this deliberate effort in 2000 itself. If you see my film choices, when I started doing films like ‘Daman’, ‘Shool’, ‘Ghulam-e-Mustafa’, ‘Satta’, the reason for that was because I wanted to do different types of characters. Luckily, even at that time I was successful in playing those characters. Even then the audience accepted me and even now the response from the audience has been very good. What could be bigger than this for an artist? This boosts morale a lot that people are liking our work, the path we are following is right.
Raveena Tandon reveals – I had to do 15-20 films to earn what the hero used to earn from one film.
‘Thankfully, I was kept away from paparazzi culture’, why did Raveena Tandon’s daughter Rasha say this?
You have always said that you never dreamed of getting into films, when did you realize that cinema was your passion and love?
Cinema is passion and love, there was no such feeling at all but it was definitely true that with the time of working, I felt that this is the thing that I do best and here I want to see myself moving forward. Then it becomes your life. Well, I have always tried to live a balanced life. I also want to see my home and family. I want to be a good mother, good wife, good daughter and good daughter-in-law and at the same time I also want to progress in my work. However, I have given up many times in between. I am someone who has taken so many sabbaticals (long leave) and then came back but there is no doubt that films and acting are a part of my life and will always be a very important part of my life.
Interview Patna Shukla: Raveena Tandon and Anushka Kaushik told why ‘Patna Shukla’ should be watched
Have you never been attracted by the glamor of the film industry? When you were not working, you didn’t miss the sets?
Raveena with daughter Rasha
Never. I never had this attachment, nor did I ever miss him. Then I was busy doing the things I wanted to do. The most important thing was that it was my decision. I took that break when my kids were little, and I was very happy about it. I wanted to do that. I wanted to take care of them when they were young because I believe that a child’s early years are very important. That is their foundation.
Box: Actresses of your later generation, Deepika, Anushka, Kangana, Vidya etc. raised their voice on gender discrimination in the industry and after that a change was seen. Why did the actresses of your era remain silent in this matter?
To know this you will have to go into history. When you watch old interviews, you will know that what we raised and said then will be very old things, but as far as I think, this change definitely starts from our generation. happened. The kind of roles and work we started choosing, this change started somewhere in the 90’s and 2000’s with Tabu.
Your character Tanvi in ’Patna Shukla’ does her work perfectly both inside and outside the house, but being a woman, she gets appreciated late. Generally it happens in the society that women do everything but they are not appreciated. What is your opinion on this?
This is a thinking that has been going on for centuries. Nowadays, of course, awareness is coming. In my previous series ‘Aaranyak’ we had also raised the issue that it is very important that other housemates also help the women of their house. Support their dreams because somewhere they also want to progress in their job. They also have ambitions and dreams, so they too should be helped at home so that they too can fulfill their dreams and move ahead in their jobs. Despite being capable, they see that their male colleagues keep moving ahead, but women are left behind because they have a lot of responsibilities at home. We had also tried to give this message in ‘Aaranyak’ that you should encourage your daughters-in-law, daughters, sisters who want to work outside, help them in the household responsibilities, then see how successful they also become in their careers. .
