Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon is a mother of two. The Dulhe Raja actress was a mother of two at the age of 21. Before you come to any conclusion, Raveena adopted two girls in 1995 and married industrialist Anil Thadani in 2004. After adopting Pooja and Chhaya, Raveena and Anil welcomed daughter Rasha in March 2005 and son Ranbirvardhan in 2008. Now during her latest interview, Raveena opened up on adopting two girls at a very young age. She revealed that people around her were very apprehensive and she was even told that no one would want to marry her with the ‘baggage’.
Speaking to Pinkvilla when Raveena was asked about how she looks at the entire experience she said, “It's an unparalleled experience, indeed. I have always felt one does not need to be a multi-billionaire to make a difference to someone’s life but just have a kind heart and doing your two bits. Back then people were apprehensive on my decision and said no one would want to marry someone with this ‘baggage.’ But as they say, what is destined to be, it will happen.
She further added, “I couldn’t have been more blessed. They still write letters to me to show their love. I would encourage everyone, even single moms, to come forward and do the same. The process is a lot smoother now as compared to how it was back then.”
Raveena also reacted when asked about adopting at a very young age. Tandon told the portal, “I didn’t like how their guardian would behave with them and some instinct in me pushed me to take them to my home. There was something about them that made me feel that me being a 21-year-old doesn’t matter. I can say it has been the best decision of my life. I cherish each and every moment I have shared with them, from taking them into my arms for the first time to walking them down the aisle.” (ALSO READ: Bigg Boss 13's Shehnaaz Gill Is Overwhelmed With 'Sadda Kutta Kutta' Memes; Unable To Keep Her Excitement As Raveena Tandon Shares One)
