Raveena Tandon recalls being the target of gossip tabloids back in the day: ‘They linked me with my own brother’

In an interview, Raveena said that she would treat her co-stars as her pals, which the magazine editors ‘just could not accept’. She added that actors were ‘at the mercy of’ columnists in those days.

Talking to Film Companion, Raveena said, “I remember many, many sleepless nights that I would cry myself to sleep and I would dread every month, another yellow, gossipy tabloid completely ripping me, my credibility, my reputation, my parents into shreds and I would wonder, ‘What is it all about?’.”

“They linked me with my own brother and Stardust wrote about that as well. ‘There is a handsome, fair boy who comes to drop Raveena Tandon, we have discovered Raveena Tandon’s boyfriend’. We have lived through that. Who would clarify and how much would you? You were at the mercy of those journalists and editors. Even if you would say ‘hello?’, they would say, ‘yeah, okay, take it with a pinch of salt’,” she added.
