Speaking to Mid-Day, Raveena shared, “I don’t want to give any importance to them as they have their own agenda. The comments of few, who have 20 followers and haven’t seen the work that I have done, will not diminish my body of work. Trolls only see the glamour; they don’t see the hard work and long hours we put in. We know how polarised things are on social media today, but others have sent such beautiful (wishes).”
She further added “I tried to do movies on issues that I felt strongly about. The Nirbhaya case had shaken me so much that I was keen to do Maatr [2017]. Whether it was Daman, Jaago [2004] or Maatr, these films talked about violence against women, and [rallied for] women empowerment. I love commercial cinema, but I also look at projects that will make a difference to society.” ALSO READ | Raveena Tandon Left Furious As Fan Pushes Daughter Rasha Thadani, While Clicking A Selfie; Actress Say, ‘Bacchon Ko Dhakka Mat Dijiye’
