Raveena Tandon: "If I could go back, read some of the atrocious shit that was written about me, I would want to sue the pants off these people"

It has been 30 years since Raveena Tandon has been a part of the Hindi film industry. The actress recently made her comeback and OTT debut with Aranyak and the series will soon get a second season as well. Now, Raveena Tandon has opened up about how the scenario in Bollywood has changed over these years, and how it is for the better.

Talking to Filmfare, Raveena Tandon recalled, “There has been a very positive change because in those days, honestly, you were body-shamed, you were personally attacked and rumours were spread without knowing the truth. Today, you have social media platforms where you can instantly put out the truth along with proof. But in those days, you were completely at the mercy of the editors, who had printed a crap story and once the headlines hit, they hit and your mental health be damned.”

She further recounted how an actor's sister attempted suicide over such nasty reports. Recounting the incident, she said, "I remember a veteran actress whose sister actually tried to commit suicide because they wrote a story of her trying to seduce her own sister’s husband which was complete crap! She was in my gym and I remember that she ended up in the hospital because of an OD (overdose) of sleeping pills because of that story. If I could go back and read some of the atrocious shit that was written about me, I would want to sue the pants off these people."

Well, now the gap between celebs and the aam janta has reduced, and they can talk directly with social media.
