In a throwback interview with the Cinestaan, Raveena Tandon had spoken proudly about how her father, Ravi Tandon handled his career and the lesson he had taught her, which helped her in becoming who she is today. Raveena had said, “I’m so proud of the way my dad handled his career. He was known to be a versatile director. He could handle comedies like Khel Khel Mein and he could even do films like Jawab and Majboor which were psychological thrillers. He was known as a gentleman director. Even now when I met Ashaji [Asha Parekh], Waheedaji [Waheeda Rehman] or Moushmiji, they have got such amazing things to say about him always. Chintuji has remained a friend of his for a very long time.”
Speaking of how she always wanted to make a name for herself in the industry on her own and never expected her father to launch her, Raveena Tandon had continued, “In fact, he taught me how to be self-made, if you really ask me. I also always wanted to stand on my own two feet because if he came from Agra with nothing and made it all here on his own, I would want to do this on my own and that’s why I preferred to get movies on my own. I never expected him to launch me.” (Also Read: Babil Khan Reveals His Parents Late Irrfan Khan And Sutapa Sikdar Always Disregarded Valentine's Day)
