I always bounce back, says actress Raveena Tandon

As actress Raveena Tandon looked back at her journey of 30 years in Bollywood, she is proud to have made her way through the male-dominated industry by sheer hard work.

Tandon made her screen debut with the 1991 action film Patthar Ke Phool and emerged as one of the top female stars of the decade, featuring in money spinners like Mohra, Diwale, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

“Perseverance and hard work will always get rewarded. If you are talented, hardworking and sincere, no one can take it away from you. It was a man’s world then, but I see a great change today. There are times when you thank your family for being your backbone, for being there for you. You also thank those who were not there for you, who probably tried to kick you at a time when you were down at your lowest and tried to completely bury you. I thank those people because they gave me the drive to bounce back ever harder. The harder they tried to put me down, the stronger I wanted to bounce back. I always bounce back,” she said.
