Raveena Tandon: Bold things only the actress could pull off

According to reports, actress Raveena Tandon’s Independence Day celebrations in 2014 ended on a rather sour note. "In LA after two glorious days, of spending the Independence Day celebrations - sadly a bad ending. All was going well till a drunk got on stage," Raveena had tweeted on August 16. She further shared the details and wrote, "Neeraj Agnihotri started misbehaving, and padding comments, sadly all security was down and couldn't get to him first" Was one of the organisers and was upset that his kids didn't get to travel in my car with me to the event, which security and protocol didn't allow. Started making nasty remarks till I had to yell out to the others to get some other guys up. And that's when they took him away! But yes I did give him a piece of my mind too. That's no way to talk to anyone - when I didn't even know what he was upset about," [sic] she added.

Raveena Tandon uncomfortable about bold scenes in her film?

According to a report in a tabloid, Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon has asked the scriptwriter of her film to tone down the bold scenes. The film was loosely based on the life of a former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. The report further stated that the actress recently had a narration with the scriptwriter and has asked to tone down the intimate scenes. After the final script is ready the makers will begin their search for a director. The report quoted a source saying that the love making scenes in the film might be based on Bhutto's alleged involvement with a well-known cricketer, whom she apparently shared close association with, while staying at the Oxford University in the early '70s.
