Raveena Tandon claimed she was called arrogant for refusing to wear swimming costume or doing kissing scenes. In an exclusive interview with ANI, the actor said, “I used to be uncomfortable with a lot of things. For example, dance steps. If I was uncomfortable with something I would say listen I am not comfortable with this step. I would not do the step. I didnt want to wear swimming costumes, and I didnt do kissing scenes. So I had my fundas. I was the only actress who had a couple of rape scenes with not even one tear in the dress. All my clothes used to be fully intact.” “Mera dress phatega nahi..tum karlo rape scene agar karna hai. So they used to call me arrogant,” Raveena Tandon added.
The actor has been ruling hearts ever since she made her debut with Patthar Ke Phool opposite Salman Khan in 1991. Opening about working in films back in the 90s on her own terms and conditions in the ANI podcast, Raveena revealed, “Darr had come to me first, though it was not vulgar, but earlier there were some scenes in Darr I was not comfortable with. I never used to wear a swimming costume. I would say, no, I will not wear a swimming costume.
Even `Prem Qaidi`, the first film with which I think Lolo (Karisma Kapoor) got launched was actually offered to me first. But even in that, there was just one scene where the hero pulls down the zipper and the strap is showing, I was uncomfortable with that.” The `Mohra` actor was recently chosen for the Padma Shri, the country`s fourth highest civilian honour.
Regarding her professional life, she garnered high praise for her role in the hugely successful pan-Indian movie “KGF-Chapter 2”. She will be seen reviving her on-screen chemistry with Sanjay Dutt in the upcoming romantic comedy “Ghudchadi” after a two-year hiatus. Additionally, Raveena will appear in Arbaz Khan’s production of “Patna Shukla.”
