On January 20, Raveena Tandon
will be felicitated for her achievements as an actor and contributions
towards social causes by a renowned global research company. The event will
commemorate the 50 most
influential and inspirational women in Maharashtra from various fields.
When contacted, Raveena said, “I am truly humbled to be
surrounded by legendary people from our industry and also from other spheres.
They have carried out some great social work and have worked towards the
betterment of our society.”
The actor also points out that women are making progress
by leaps and bounds. “They are gaining respect globally through their hard work
and achievements. On the other hand, it’s shameful to hear bigoted and
chauvinistic comments by some people, who are supposed to be our leaders and
clerics,” she says.
While talking about societal issues that concern her as a
woman, Raveena says, “The latest victim to be shamed for her success was Zaira
Wasim. She had to apologise because of the abuses and threats to her life.”
She adds, “Rape and violence against women is also an
issue that needs to be handled sternly. Mohammed Afroz, who was the most brutal
attacker of Nirbhaya (case), got off scot-free and was given a job by the
government. Giving incentives to rapists only encourages and sets a wrong
precedent.
