In a candid conversation, Raveena spoke about her early years in the industry, sharing how she evolved by embracing more versatile roles, which eventually led to her exploring diverse opportunities on OTT platforms.

The dialogues were usually the same, with only the co-actors, costumes, and settings changing, but the essence of the roles remained unchanged. Back then, it was common for us to work on 30 movies a year and it was easy because the role was the same. But with time, I felt the need to challenge myself and break away from these repetitive roles as I wanted to grow as an actor. That’s when I decided to take on more intense roles and I took up ‘Shool.’

Talking about how challenging it was for her to bag the role in ‘Shool’, Raveena shared, “Ram Gopal Verma ji, who is now a dear friend, was producing the film, and the director of the film, Eeshwar Nivas, was convinced that I could play Manjari Bhabhi. But Ram Gopal Verma ji didn’t agree and he initially discouraged me from taking on such a demanding role as he had a certain image in his mind about me, owing to my previous roles.

However, I saw it as an opportunity to push my limit, so I went ahead with it. I remember the day that I had a look test for the film and while I was going for it, I greeted Ramu with a cheerful ‘Hi,’ but he just smiled, responded with a quick ‘Hi,’ and walked away. I was taken aback by his reaction as I felt that he didn’t want me to do this film. I didn’t let that affect me and I went ahead for the look test and I was soon fully immersed in my character.

At that moment, he turned around and asked me, “Raveena Tandon, is that you?”. He didn’t recognize me because I was so deeply immersed into the character. That moment was a turning point for me—I never looked back after that, and people began to accept me in diverse roles.”

With Zakir’s quirk and Raveena’s captivating tales, this episode is a must-watch for all.
