Raveena discloses her only aversion to rape scenes in movies

• Raveena Tandon recalls being called arrogant when she refused to wear a ‘swimming costume’ or do kissing scenes in a film.
• She said she agreed to rape scenes in her films only on one condition–her clothes would be fully intact.
• Calls herself the ‘only actress’ to work with such a policy.

Actress Raveena Tandon remembers hearing the word “arrogant” when she declined to participate in kissing sequences or wear a “swimming costume” in a movie. She stated in a recent interview that she would only accept to rape sequences in her movies if her garments were completely undamaged. She referred to herself as the “only actress” who followed such a rule.

Raveena recently discussed how she experienced body-shaming in Bollywood. She remarked that the final words were whatever the male performers said. The “greatest” adversaries of other women, according to her, are other women because they body-shame and slut-shame them in an effort to knock them down. She claimed that after getting married to movie distributor Anil Thadani, she left the industry because she was so disgusted with the “viciousness” of journalism in the 1990s.

When addressing ANI, Raveena stated: “I used to feel uneasy with a lot of things. Take dance moves, for instance. I would say, “Listen, I’m not comfortable with this step,” if I were uncomfortable. I wouldn’t take the action. I refused to do any kissing scenes or wear a bathing suit. I then had my basis. I was the only actor to have two rape scenes with no visible dress rips. I used to wear just totally intracranial clothing.”
