Raveena Tandon doesn’t want her children to know about her past relationships from an unreliable source.
Raveena Tandon called out the trend of yellow Journalism during the peak of her career.
Raveena Tandon is known for her acting skills and was one of the top actresses of the 90s. She has made a niche for herself in the industry. Still today she enjoys a huge fan following. Well, recently in a conversation with Lehren Retro, Raveena Tandon disclosed that she has been quite open to her daughter about her past relationships, since she doesn’t want her to get the information from an ‘unreliable’ source.
Explaining the reasons behind that, Raveena told the entertainment portal, “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.”
Recalling how ‘yellow journalism’ was rampant back in the 90s and celebrities didn’t have the power to control their narrative. She expressed that they ‘were always at the mercy of the editor’. She stated, “Whose camp they were in or whom they were buttering up or which hero or heroine was buttering them up, they would only write about them, and their side of the story, without even waiting to find out what the truth was.”
She added, “They sl*t shamed, they body shamed, they called you names. There were pet names given to everyone and the more scandalous the story, the worse they would write. I’ve been called so many things, ‘Amazonian’ and ‘thunder thighs’, ‘Ms Arrogant’, ‘Ms High and Mighty’, so many.”
On the work front, Raveena was last seen playing Ramika Sen, Prime Minister of India, in KGF Chapter 2. Raveena Tandon also became the proud recipient of Padma Shri recently. The evergreen actress along with the Oscar winning composer MM Keeravani had received the fourth highest civilian award from President Droupadi Murmu during an auspicious ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
