Raveena Tandon quotes

 ”Till my first year of college I was a very complex, insecure person. I was fat and ugly. In school I was disgustingly obese. I used to be the butt of ridicule and that made me withdraw into a shell. It made me miserable, unsure of myself. I was far from confident.”

 ”Now when I think about it, may be it would’ve been better if we had remained friends instead of getting engaged. But I guess what had to happen, happened. You can’t turn back the clock. But I only wish Akshay had not made those stupid statements like: ‘Oh I was never responsible for Raveena quitting films’. I was furious with him, when he had made that statement in an interview”

“I’m a professional, I don’t care. I would pose with a broomstick if need be. I’m only bothered with my work.”

“Ajay Devgan and I had a print war that was unbelievable. Today when I look back I feel we both needed to grow up. We were fighting in print like two children in kindergarten. Fortunately we’ve grown up a lot since then. We’re even doing a film together. I have no problems whatsoever with Ajay. He’s a cool guy.”
