Raveena Tandon’s Bold Confession: Battling Body Shamers and Starving

Raveena Tandon, the OG Bollywood bombshell, is not just making waves in the Bollywood industry but also in the OTT realm, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with. And guess what? Her daughter Rasha Thadani is set to follow in her footsteps – talk about a powerhouse family!

But it hasn’t been all glitz and glamour for this diva. Raveena recently spilled the tea on the not-so-glamorous side of her journey to stardom. She revealed the harsh reality of being body-shamed and slut-shamed by none other than women editors, dishing out derogatory remarks like they were going out of style.

In a candid Zoom interview, Raveena didn’t hold back. “There was a lot of body shaming, and I’ll be very honest, the body shaming was not from the industry. Everyone very easily blames the film industry, but the film industry was the one that gave me chances. The media was body-shaming us. Editors who were women were busy slut-shaming heroines, trying to prove how nasty they’re or trying to question anyone’s body, face, or hair, and they were like, ‘Oh my God, look at her thunder thighs and Amazonian body frame’. These were the terms that the actresses were called at that time. It was sad at that time.” she confessed, shaking her head at the memory.

Strength in the Struggle

But Raveena’s not one to play the victim. With a rock-solid upbringing and unwavering support from her parents, she weathered the storm like a true boss babe. “I had my backbone—my parents—who stood by me through it all,” she declared, proving that family is everything, especially in tough times.

From Starving to Thriving

And as if that wasn’t enough, Raveena dropped another bombshell: she once starved herself to meet society’s impossible beauty standards. “A lot of female actors felt pressured to go through surgeries, but luckily I didn’t have to go through that. There was a point when I was starving myself, and then I realized, that’s seriously unhealthy what I’m doing to myself,” she admitted, shaking her head at the unhealthy practices she once succumbed to.
