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.

[@RojaJaneman]

Power of happy life and a good life partner. Being comfortable and relatively stress free keeps u healthy/young. Staying out of d sun and away from pollution also keeps u exponentially younger.

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@tiasuneepimcheen2298]

@@roman5782 i agree

[@arunks6986]

All of these actresses mentioned barring Sonali has done heavy Botox/ facelift. Only Manisha Koirala remains natural

[@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!

[@rajiiyer3396]

Nepotism is not overhyped it is there that's why it's been talked about

[@someshwarsinghnaryal6723]

Very aptly said

[@rasagnaatharva5417]

Remember how they made contract with sushant 3 film with Production house & grouped together to execute this plan shows why NEPOTISM is so bad irrespective of opinions we all can agree it's a malpractice

[@1729krish]

I think her point was that it is everywhere and not just film industry

[@Gone_maddd]

Even it is prevalent these actors can't say anything bad about nepotism. It's a very risky matter !

[@tmj8637]

​@@Gone_madddshe too a nepo ...her father ravi Tandon was a director n producer ..more over don't give them respect as originally they all r fake . Treat them as an entertainer only .

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

This comparison with, doctor son becomes doctor is not valid, because for becoming doctor you literally pass many exams but for being actor (first break) or being politician you dont pass any exams. Problem lies when someone is sidelined because he or she is not a star kid.

[@Besties591]

Exactly everytime

[@gauraveshwar]

doctors give donations in big private clge for admission, their kids have that previledge and envoirnment by birth

[@hiraeth5574]

@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.

She is so classy. A complete misfit in Bollywood. They wasted her in cheap songs. Her best and most classy pairing was with Dutt. No wonder she keeps mentioning him. They actually made a great pair.

Smita Ji, next time please invite Tabu and Sushmita Sen and Manisha Koirala. PPLLEEEEEEAAASEEEEEE.

[@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.

[@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 🙌

[@ashutoshkumarsingh1163]

Because such these things that they talking about are only on raveena wikipedia.akshay Kumar Wikipedia is all about movies , networth.Raveena always like to talk about her personal life, Akshay Kumar never take her name .

[@Besties591]

Raveena keeps bringing up her sob story of quoting Bollywood for akshay during her peak, don’t know if there was any .. Manisha, Karishma, kajol urmila we’re way more popular than her. Ofcourse there was madhuri sridevi Juhi chawla. She never had one stand out performance ever. She was mostly doing item songs

[@KNOWLEDGEIsPOWER-t1y]

​@@Besties591Raveena missed out massively due to not signing films for those crucial 2 years of 1994 and 1995. She picked her career back up in 1996 but the big banner roles had gone to other actresses and Raveena had to start from scratch working in B grade movies with Govinda etc. All her other contemporaries had raced ahead of her. Yes, it was her choice to quit but she was manipulated by a narcissistic and selfish guy. Raveena did have standout performances in her later films but you're obviously just a hater who wanted to add your negative comment. Raveena is a survivor in a male dominated and chauvinistic industry that writes actresses off when they reach the age of 30. So those 2 years had been crucial for Raveena. So it isn't a sob story. It is facts! Raveena may have fallen behind at that time but let's applaud her for what she achieved before and after those 2 years that she was not working. She quit on the promise of marriage with a guy who just cheated on her constantly. At that point, she could have just accepted to marry him but she chose to dump his cheating a** and restart her career from scratch. Don't you think she deserves to be applauded for her bravery instead of being criticised? Come on!!

[@bhavanavijay1428]

Raveena should check her facts about Ranveer Singh and his Family having Bollywood connections. And if Nepotism didn't exist and only Talent did in Bollywood,then she has to look around and comment. Not be Myopic. Nepotism is a fact in Bollywood. Plum roles only go to Nepo kids.
