'What am I crying for': How a 2-minute stop near a slum area taught heartbroken Raveena Tandon the biggest lesson of her life
Raveena Tandon , a name synonymous with both glamour and grit in Indian cinema, has seen many transitions throughout her career—from 1990s commercial stardom to critically acclaimed roles in socially driven films. But beyond her cinematic evolution lies a deeply personal journey marked by emotional setbacks and self-discovery. In an earlier candid conversation, the actress opened up about a moment during one of the lowest phases of her life—a brief halt near a slum on a rainy night—that ended up teaching her a life-changing lesson in gratitude and perspective. A Lesson in Perspective Speaking to Zoom TV, Tandon recalled a time when she felt utterly broken. She had reached a point where she believed she had lost both personal and professional stability. On one such emotionally heavy night, while driving through Mumbai in pouring rain, her car momentarily stopped near a slum area by the railway tracks. What she witnessed through the window left a lasting impression.

A little further, she noticed a man physically abusing his wife in the rain. In that moment, Tandon realised that while she was lamenting her setbacks from the comfort of an expensive car, there were others who were simply trying to make it through the day. That experience shifted her focus from self-pity to gratitude, marking what she described as a turning point in her life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo An Ever-Evolving Career Raveena Tandon's journey in cinema began with Patthar Ke Phool in 1991 and soon catapulted her into stardom with a string of hits including Mohra, Dilwale, and Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi.

Back to South After Two Decades and Social Work After a long hiatus from South Indian cinema , Tandon is now making her Tamil film comeback with Lawyer, opposite Vijay Antony. In an interview with The Times of India, she expressed her happiness about returning to the region, sharing that she has always enjoyed filming in the South. She praised the professionalism, cultural depth, and mass appeal of the stories told there and even reflected on how she often wondered why she wasn't approached for more roles in Tamil, Telugu, or Kannada cinema. Beyond acting, Tandon has also contributed to various environmental and social causes. On World Environment Day, she was felicitated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for her environmental work. Sharing the honour on social media, she expressed joy not only for the recognition but also for the adoption of a rescued kitten, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the occasion.

Salman Khan Looks Upset At Ex Sangeeta Bijlani's Bash, But Young Fan Brings Out His Smile
Last Updated: Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar, which released this Eid but failed to make a mark at the box office. Salman Khan made headlines once again as he stepped out for his ex-girlfriend Sangeeta Bijlani's birthday bash on Wednesday night.

Whether at events or on sets, Salman has often shown that behind his macho exterior lies a man who absolutely adores kids. Netizens also noted how fit and lean Salman looked in the video, with many speculating that the actor is in prep mode for his upcoming film Battle of Galwan.

Meet actress who once tied a Rakhi to the producer she later married; Love story that shocked Bollywood, she is...
Their story began like many iconic reel romances—unexpected, intense, and filled with whispers. When producer Boney Kapoor tied a Rakhi on Sridevi's wrist, it wasn't just a symbolic gesture for brotherly protection. 'Meri maa … ne Sridevi ko rakhi wali ek thali di aur mujhe rakhi bandhane ke liye kaha' ('My mother … gave Sridevi a Rakhi plate and asked me to tie the Rakhi'). Boney revealed to Zoom TV, capturing a moment that would ripple across Bollywood circles. It was a gesture that masked deeper undercurrents—was this sisterly affection, or the prelude to something more? Secrets behind the thread The Mumbai grapevine hinted that Sridevi was dating Mithun Chakraborty when Boney entered the frame. Male egos burned, according to rumours, Mithun, 'bhadak gaye' upon sensing Sridevi's growing closeness to Boney. In response, Sridevi tied the Rakhi—a move many believe soothed tensions and redirected the emotional narrative. Love, amidst complicated ties Boney wasn't new to commitment—then married to Mona Shourie and father to Arjun and Anshula, he insisted, 'Main apni patni, Arjun ki maa, Mona ke saath bahut imaandar tha. Bahut saari cheezein thi jo maine ek kadam aage hokar ki.' ('I was very honest with my wife, Arjun's mother, Mona. There were many things I took a step further with.'). His admission hinted at complexities within relationships and a willingness to embrace honest transitions rather than secrets. When sister became soulmate Countless Bollywood tales hide behind closed doors—but this one transformed perception. What began as an odd Rakhi gesture—shared publicly with Sridevi stepping into Boney's room—grew into a bond that defied labels: sister, friend, accomplice, eventual life partner. Their narrative blurred the lines of familial duties and romantic destiny, backed by public scrutiny and private resilience. Of rumours, rewrites, and reclaiming love Sridevi, one of Indian cinema's most beguiling screen presences, and Boney, the powerful industry insider, faced moral tightropes: age-old norms, public opinion, and existing commitments. Yet their subtle ceremony—Rakhi and reunion—hinted at a deeper truth: sometimes, the prettiest love stories are hidden in the shadows of family gatherings and festival rituals.

He talked about losing 25 kilos and quitting alcohol, which helped in his weight loss journey.

After being away from the screen for more than a decade, he returned to acting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi and fans noticed the change in his looks. He lost nearly 25 kilos over the past couple of years - a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed by fans and media alike. 'I was 102-103 at my heaviest. Not muscle.

The Housefull 5 actor revealed that losing weight was not just about transformation, but about maintaining good health as well. He confessed, "I didn't feel like myself at all". Previously, the actor opened up about his weight loss during an interview with Zoom TV. He revealed that he was trolled on social media. "I was a worldwide trending topic at that time and not for the right reasons." Quitting Alcohol Was The Major Turning Point His weight loss journey kicked in when he decided to quit his relationship with alcohol. Fardeen Khan shared that he quit drinking in 2020 because it was interfering with his health and lifestyle. Fardeen Khan also revealed during the interview how quitting alcohol helped. "I was sober in the early 2020s. That's when I kicked the habit full on during the COVID-19 lockdown. I stopped in one go." He shared how it was the first time that his 'brain fog kind of cleared.' "I was feeling bloody 60 years old. Now, when you wake up, I feel clean, sober… I quit overnight, but coming to terms with your new life was a tough journey," he shared.
