Raveena Tandon was the quintessential symbol of sensuality during the '90s. Even when her iconic number 'Tip Tip Barsa Paani' has been recreated by a leading actor (Katrina Kaif) of the recent generation, a majority of netizens opined that the former's oomph factor can't be matched, reports Gulf News.
The actress recently spoke to issues ranging from body shaming to toxic gossip magazines which could ruin someone's career.
Asked about the gossip magazines of the bygone eras, Tandon said, "90s gossip magazines were the worst. And some of those women, now I see, roaming around today carrying the women's lib badge over their heads and hearts, who were the worst enemies of women, who body-shamed women and would do everything possible to bring another woman down. Today they roam around as feminists, I wonder when did that happen? If I start telling stories about them... (chuckles)."
"I remember some of these titles. And not only me, but some other heroines are also called that. Besides that, instead of supporting women, what they did was...firstly all these women editors would fall in love with the heroes. And what the heroes said were the last words," Tandon said.
A much-Googled topic is her engagement with Akshay Kumar which the couple broke off nearly 25 years ago. The stars who had acted together in a few movies were engaged before breaking up in the mid-90s. Tandon said people are still looking for details of their relationship.
Tendon said, "It comes up, and it comes up like there's a war between everyone whom he's involved with. Hello, once I had moved out of his life, I was already dating someone else, and he was already dating someone else, so 'kahan se jealousy ayegi' (why would anyone be jealous)?"
