What did Akshay Kumar say about Raveena Tandon?
At the trailer launch of Welcome To The Jungle, Akshay reflected on reuniting with Raveena Tandon after all these years. Calling Raveena a “professional”, Akshay recalled an incident from their early days of working together as he praised her dedication to her craft. “Her professionalism has not changed, she is still the same. I remember we were shooting a film when the sun was about to set. There were only 25-30 minutes left and the green room was quite far away. She had to quickly change and come back for the shot, which seemed impossible,” Akshay said.
He added, “But I still remember, she went into the generator van, quickly changed there and came back.” Akshay also praised Raveena’s growth as an actor over the years. “A lot of changes have happened in her. She is a brilliant actor,” he said, before joking, “The biggest change being, she was a heroine earlier, and now she is a heroine’s mother,” referring to Rasha Thadani.
