Raveena Tandon recalls rejecting quite a few big film projects, that even starred her favourite stars, due to addition of kissing scenes in the plots.
Raveena Tandon is one of the most iconic evergreen actresses of her generation in Bollywood. She is known for her memorable performances, foot-tapping dance numbers, impeccable acting chops and whatnot. Moreover, she is also loved for her bold personality and unfiltered opinions, as she doesn’t fret away from speaking her own mind. In her personal life, she is married to film distributor, Anil Thadani and the duo is blessed with a daughter, Rasha and a son, Ranbirvardhan.
In an interaction with Barkha Dutt, Raveena Tandon talked about a particular point in her career, where, due to her very strict principles of choosing work, she ended up rejecting quite a few big opportunities. The actress remarked that from the very first step in her career, she never wanted to do kissing scenes or any other bold moves on the screen. Talking more about the same, she narrated:
“I didn’t do kissing scenes, but I also didn’t do movies if the costumes I was not comfortable with. I left big movies with big stars if I wasn’t comfortable with the costumes. There was a film that I had with a very very big star, that I regret, because I really wanted to work with him, he was my favourite. But unfortunately, it had those pom-poms right here, like a Playboy Bunny, which to me was objectifying women.”
