Regarding actors feeling the strain of surgery, Raveena Tandon
Raveena Tandon discussed her experience of body-shaming in the early stages of her career in a recent interview with Zoom. Looking back on the 1990s, she disclosed the feeling actors had when they had to have operations done in order to live up to society's ideal of beauty. She did, however, thank them for not giving in to those kinds of pressures.
"A lot of female actors felt pressured to have surgeries, but fortunately I was spared from that," the actress revealed. I used to starve myself until I realised how profoundly bad it was for me to do that to myself.

The actress talked about how the media industry has phrases like "Amazonian body frame" and "thunder thighs" to disparagingly refer to heroines. While the film industry provided her with chances, Raveena emphasised that body-shaming of herself and other actors was caused by the media.
"I'll be very honest, there was a lot of body-shaming, and it wasn't from the industry," she recalled. People want to point the finger at the film industry, yet it was the industry that provided opportunities for me. We were being body-shamed by the media.”
The Karmma Calling actress also talked candidly about how she lost multiple assignments as a result of this. According to the actress, you have to believe in yourself before you can convince other people to believe in you. The actress claimed that what kept her going every time was her inner strength. She continued by stating her conviction that no one should be harmed or have their career interfered with. She believes that her hard work will benefit her until her conscience is clear and her heart is "clean."
Regarding her career, Raveena Tandon most recently starred in the Disney+ Hotstar series Karmma Calling. She will next be seen with Satish Kaushik, Anushka Kaushik, and Manav Vij in Vivek Budakoti's Patna Shukla.
