Raveena
Tandon
Slams
The
Blame
Game
Post
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
Demise
The
Mohra
actress
told
Hindustan
Times,
"Stop
sensationalising
it
now.
You
can't
blame
anyone,
not
the
film
industry.
This
is
just
becoming
a
witch-hunt,
a
lynch
mob,
which
is
wrong.
People
have
to
think
rationally.
It's
doing
a
great
disservice
to
the
poor
boy
who's
gone."
Raveena
Says
She
Was
Appalled
To
See
A
Whatsapp
Forward
Doing
The
Rounds
That
'Karan
Johar
Intentionally
Made
A
Bad
Film
For
Sushant
So,
He
Could
Ruin
The
Actor's
Career'
Speaking
about
it,
the
actress
said,
"Why
would
a
producer
pay
an
actor
crores
of
rupees,
sign
him
in
his
movie
and
then
risk
the
rest
of
the
crores
in
making
a
shitty
film?
Why
would
anyone
invest
so
much
money,
time
and
mechanism
to
intentionally
sabotage
his
own
film?
How
absurd
are
these
allegations!"
However,
Raveena
Doesn't
Deny
The
Existence
Of
'Camps
And
Mean
Girls' In
Bollywood
"There
are
politics,
I
agree.
And
there
are
good
people
and
there
are
bad
people.
This
is
what
I
had
written
in
my
tweet
also.
And
there
are
bad
people
who
do
plan
your
failure;
I've
been
through
it.
They
are
the
ones
who
would
want
to
see
you
down
and
removed
from
films.
It's
literally
like
classroom
politics.
They
play
dirty
games.
But
people
like
this
are
there
in
every
industry.
We're
in
a
high
profile
glamorous
job
and
the
competition
is
cut-throat,
so
it
gets
highlighted,"
the
actress
told
the
leading
daily.
Raveena
Recalls
How
She
Was
Removed
From
A
Film
Overnight
At
The
Hands
Of
'Mean
Girl
Gang'
The
actress
revealed,
"I
was
doing
fittings
with
the
film's
designer
for
an
outfit
for
the
evening
mahurat
party.
At
4
pm,
I
get
a
call
that
I've
been
dumped
from
the
movie
and
I've
to
return
the
signing
amount
because
the
hero's
girlfriend
didn't
like
me."
Raveena
On
How
An
Interview
Of
Late
Actor
Shashi
Kapoor
Helped
Her
In
Dealing
With
That
Situation
Recalling
that
interview,
Raveena
said,
"He
(Shashi
Kapoor)
had
said
main
party
par
gaya
hoon,
and
there
I
realised
the
hero
is
someone
else
and
they
didn't
even
inform
me'.
So,
what
happened
with
all
these
false
claims
of
nepotism?
Even
the
greatest
filmmaker
Raj
Kapoor's
family
wasn't
spared
by
politics."
Further
speaking
about
why
she
remembers
Kapoor's
interview
so
clearly,
the
actress
said,
"Because
at
that
time,
I
used
to
get
inspiration
from
these
people
when
these
kind
of
things
used
to
happen
to
me.
‘Even
they've
faced
things
like
this'
-
I
used
it
as
an
example
to
console
myself."
'Even
The
Top
Most
Stars
Fear
About
Being
Thrown
Out
Of
Bollywood
If
Their
Films
Don't
Work,'
Says
Raveena
Reacting
to
reports
that
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
always
feared
about
being
thrown
out
of
Bollywood
if
his
films
didn't
work,
Raveena
said,
"Even
the
top
most
stars
or
top
most
producer,
director's
brothers
or
sons
have
that
fear.
If
that
wasn't
the
case,
all
star
kids
would
have
been
superstars
today,
but
there
are
many
who
have
been
thrown
out
of
Bollywood.
So,
when
Sushant
appealed
to
the
public
to
come
and
see
his
films,
nobody
knew
that
it
was
said
with
so
much
charged
emotion.
The
boy
went
much
deeper
and
maybe
was
always
emotionally
very
fragile."
The
actress
further
said
that
she
is
unable
to
fathom
"what
drove
such
a
young,
handsome,
talented,
successful
boy
to
take
this
drastic
step".
Raveena
Tandon
On
The
Insider-Outsider
Debate
The
actress
cited
examples
of
how
actors
like
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Ranveer
Singh
and
Amitabh
Bachchan,
too,
never
had
any
godfather
or
connection
in
the
industry.
She
further
said,
"And
according
to
this
outsider-insider
phraseology,
my
dad
was
a
filmmaker,
so
I'm
supposed
to
be
an
insider,
right?
But
he
has
retired;
he
never
launched
me,
never
put
money
in
any
film.
I
was
discovered
at
a
pizza
shop
and
before
that
I
was
doing
ads
and
nobody
gave
me
ads
because
I
was
Ravi
Tandon's
daughter.
I
was
called
up
by
a
casting
scout,
and
later
they
discovered
that
I'm
my
father's
daughter.
But,
I
still
get
abused
on
social
media
with
people
saying
that
you
are
also
a
result
of
nepotism."
Raveena
Tandon
On
The
Importance
Of
Mental
Health
"There
are
signs
that
you
can
see,
of
depression,
in
a
person.
There
are
signs
you
know,
can
see
and
read,
and
when
you
talk
to
the
psychiatrist,
they
also
say,
‘Okay,
these
are
the
signs'.
In
America
and
all,
it
might
be
a
fad
to
go
to
a
psychiatrist
and
they
talk
to
you,
but
in
India,
our
families,
best
friends
are
so
close
that
you
can
reach
out
to
them,
to
your
best
friends," the
tabloid
quoted
Raveena
as
saying.
Raveena
Tandon
Says
She
Could
Identify
With
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
"I
could
kind
of,
to
certain
extent,
also
identify
with
Sushant
because
I
myself
never
had
many
friends
within
the
industry
except
for
Neelam
Kothari,
Juhi
Chawla,
Shilpa
Shetty
-
these
are
probably
the
only
girls
I
really
got
along
with,
and
we
are
still
friends
now.
But
during
my
rock
bottom
days,
my
friends
who
were
always
there
for
me
were
those
from
school
and
college,
who've
been
constantly
with
me
and
have
seen
what
all
I've
gone
through
in
my
life.
Also,
I
believe
parents
are
the
biggest
and
strongest
backbone
and
I've
always
talked
to
them," the
actress
signed
off.
