In a recent interview with Lehren Retro, Raveena Tandon shared that she never hid her past relationships from her children, and she has been quite open about the same. Mentioning why she opted for such a decision, Raveena shared that as she is a public figure, the details about her life are already out there. Thus, there remains a possibility that her kids would read about their mom's life anytime. Raveena also stated that during the 90s, 'yellow journalism' was at its peak and had no morals. Elaborating more about the same, Raveena stated:

"It’s an open book for them. If not today, tomorrow they will read about it somewhere and they might read something worse, because you know how the ’90s press was. It was yellow journalism at its peak. They had no scruples, no morals, no integrity.”
