EP-38 | Rendezvous with heartthrob Raveena Tandon | ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash

[@manaskumarjha1050]

17:59 ; the way she said "yellow's fine" . ⚡ She is still so beautiful and elegant , you simply can't take your eyes off from her when she's talking.

[@deepsince2002]

She is so expressive and well spoken. How naturally she answer and share her opinion on each topic. She is not just a pretty face but much more...she is much cooler than today's actresses. She sounds so mature and responsible.

[@kuldeepgadhvi1788]

While hearing Raveena I had to check my settings twice if I am playing the video at 1.5x speed !! She speaks so fast and fluently! Enjoyed watching this interview. Thanks Smita. 😊

[@rosy25799]

Oh My God. Literally 🙂 That's exactly I did. I thought let me check it's on 1.5 speed. Yes enjoying 😊

Nonsense 👎

[@ketanpanat]

Raveena Tandon is one heroine who would dress completely and still look sensuous...Hats off..

[@adithyachintalapati6851]

Never knew the other facets of Raveena !! Wow, she is a very proud and responsible citizen of the country, doing her bit for various social causes.

[@tiasuneepimcheen2298]

Probably the only "natural beauty" in Bollywood. And many won't agree but i think she has grown to be very beautiful now than during her Initial point in time when she was rated as a superstar. And hats off to her humanitarian side......she looks even more preetier to me now that i know she adopted kids who were left to die. Much love and respect. Now i know why my girlfriend who now runs an NGO on Animal's wants to adopt children. I have to thank you 🙏🏼

[@roman5782]

She has definitely aged gracefully. The other natural beauties that come to my mind are Madhuri and Sonali Bendre.

Well done Raveena for speaking your mind. You are not only a great actress but also an outstanding and proud citizen of India. We are proud of having personalities like you in India who exercises their freedom of speech fearlessly and honestly.

[@dubaimarket001]

Feralessly? Yesterday she was asked to comment on Modi BBC Documentary ban, she skipped the question and murmured something to the anchor on live telecast😂🤣 BJP stoog she is, why do you think she got a Padma Shri having little to no achievements? Also, fearlessless is when you talk with names - Does she have the gut to name Ajay Devgn Karishma Sushmita? A BIG NO. She can only talk like a gossip aunty on interviews like this.

She is beautiful soul inside out. God Bless - Thoroughly enjoyed this episode ... Now awaiting the nxt rocking vlog - 👍🙏💖❗

[@TheSweet223]

Nepotism is not just about launching your children..its about establishing an ecosystem in the industry where entities provides a special treatment to an artist who comes from film background and a very different treatment to someone comes from outside. I don't think most people have any issues about launching their children.

Donated my wife’s eyes after a lengthy interview with the Eye bank . After their acceptance and receiving the letter that two people could see, I can’t express the emotions I went through. Raveena’s appeal for organ donation is genuine.

[@gagswag]

Raveena acts so flippant about her breakup with Akshay. But it is a known thing that she was devastated when she found out about the betrayal.

[@florawatele1764]

Essence of a real strong woman!

[@gagswag]

@@florawatele1764 I don't know. I feel she could she could have been honest about it. After all what Akshay did to her was not correct and she really was affected by it for a long time. She took a long time to get over it too.

[@johnfaith9486]

​@@gagswagIts better to break engagement than marrying and divorcing.

[@KNOWLEDGEIsPOWER-t1y]

​​@gagswag I think she has been honest about all that in the past. Watch her interview with Simi Garewal. It is heartbreaking and you can see she was still in love with him at that point when he had already married Twinkle. But I think Raveena has moved on now and is married with children so maybe she doesn't want to bring all that up at this point. If she starts talking about her heartbreak again, it will just create unnecessary headlines. Out of respect for her own husband, it's better that Raveena doesn't talk about her past heartbreak with Akshay. Everyone knows that she loved him a lot but he was not sincere and didn't value or appreciate her. It's good she has moved on, so what's the use of talking about it now? I think Raveena should just make it clear before any interveiw that she doesn't want to be asked about Akshay at all. He does not exist in her life now, not even as a side character!

[@spg6651]

Simply liked your open talk madam. You raised the respect for MUMBAI film industry which otherwise is going down -- Your small role in KGF 2 was remarkable impact - Hope KGF 3 will be full of you in lead role. One request - Please spread message of BHARAT among young BHARATIYAs -- its important -- When Hollywood actresses are taking Sanathana Dharma after visiting Rishikesh , why not you madam.

@44:08 it was sridevi who was called thunder thighs after the release of Himmatwala because she was curvaceous. Raveena was called jinx because until Mohra she did not give any hit. Dilwale was an average. But rest all were superflops. I like Raveena and thats why watched this long podcast. But her examples or take on nepotism was karan johar level. See, none of us are telling you to not to launch ur kids. But dnt keep forcing them on us for eternity. Uday chopra, tushar, ananya pandey, fardeen khan etc and many more kept doing films on films but neither those films were working nor they were good actors, but still only because of nepotism they lasted for decades. But thats not the case with an outsider. Dsnt matter how talented he or she is , first they rarely get chance and if the film flopped, then they are out. You cant compare nepo kids with doctors/lawyers kids. They literally study for 5-10 years even to get benefitted by their parents.

[@gubbacchi10]

Starting from 11.27. It is karishma Kapoor and Ajay devagan. Raveena & karishma used to fight cats & dogs. She had also given a Hilary statement like Ajay & karishma s children will be like zebras. In fact even Manisha koirala had also said same about Ajay devgan he listens whatever his girlfriend karishma dictates him. Karishma was very jealous of her contemparies. She was even jealous of urmila

[@ntripathi331]

you’re right… I also was suspecting her being the jealous one, of when Raveena was talking about how the guy she was best paired with had a GF who hated her.. I too think it’s Karisma she’s talking about

[@maaji88]

With due respect to actors, please invite those who have made a significant contribution to our country or have achieved something extra ordinary. I say this with no bias.They have several platforms to tell their stories of struggle & success, that are no doubt inspirational to many. We look forward to other achievers or influencers on your show. Both Aruna Iraniji and Raveena Tandon are my favorite actors. I agree that a few rotten apples shouldn’t be the reason for a complete boycott. It’s an industry that contributes to our economy in a big way and a huge source of employment. And, actors and other technicians work hard to earn success, wealth and fanfare. Having said that, Bollywood did need a wake up call!

[@1729krish]

How is being one of the biggest entertainers of the 90s not a 'significant contribution' to the country? I'm v happy to listen to her on this podcast.

[@maaji88]

@@1729krish I also enjoyed the rendezvous with Raveena Tandon because I’m her fan. She comes across as a good person too. But I don’t consider her contribution to the industry or country as something special. Also my comment was in general,regarding Bollywood. Didn’t want Smitaji’s ANI podcast to become a platform for actors to promote their projects as they have several other channels to do so. Having said that, I respect your view; to each his own.

[@parodayn2594]

Hardly any such

[@du_boy]

An icon of womanhood and a true beauty.👌👌 She deserves the Padma Shri Award. I still remember the Ankhiyo se goli maare song from Dulhe Raja... Entire hall would start whistling and shouting at her entry. That song was like an item song. But she didn't look cheap at all. Very few women have this potential. Again she did Tu cheez badi hai mast mast which is even today criticized for its lyrics but Ravinaji never looked cheap in it. These days item song starts and you suddenly want to run away from the theatres. Girls should learn how to be classy and dignified from women like Ravina ji.

Remember seeing ravishing Raveena in a Breeze soap Ad for the very first time and it was refreshing to hear her speak candidly and articulate her expressions so well. Thanks Smita ji for this episode but, I would like to add that people are not against Nepotism in Hindi movies ,rather people are against the groupism and the mafia culture that has hampered the film industry. If ,we are so proud of our country then films that are demeaning our faiths, beliefs and culture should be condemned. Freedom of expression cannot encourage such acts . Bollywood has to correct itself , not the audience.

[@Nishant.N]

I like Raveena Tondon. And, nepotism do exist in other professions. But, I felt she exactly not knowing when people say - nepotism in Bollywood. We have nepotism in South Industry but audience are ok with that. Because people accepted them because of their performances. In Bollywood, it’s highly criticised because producers give chances to the star kids again n again even if their acting is not appreciated by audience (example - Ananya Pandey or Janhavi Kapoor). Also, new comers get less opportunity compared to star kids from well established production houses. No doubt, if someone’s parents are stars. Their kids will get easy entry. And based on their performances, people will watch them. After all this nepotism discussions and OTT platforms and content creators, new faces, new talents are coming out. More than nepotism from Bollywood, it’s entertainment media and PR agency and of course the audience or fans of those star kids responsible than the Bollywood people. Alia Bhatt is too the product of Nepotism but her acting skills in Highway, Gangubai, Raazi etc. had got the genuine love from the audience 🙌
