Controversies | • When Raveena tweeted in support of the #MeToo movement, her tweets were linked to her past relationship with Akshay Kumar by the Twitterati's. However, later, Tandon bashed them saying that her tweets were not because of her past relationship but to support the women in the industry. • In 2015, she sued the matrimonial sites such as Shaadi.com and Shaaditimes.com for using her pictures for their promotion without her permission. • During the 2018 farmers strikes in various states, Raveena tweeted that anyone who destroys the public properties should be instantly arrested. The actress was trolled for her insensitivity after her tweets. Soon after that, Tandon deleted her previous tweet and mentioned that she was targeting antisocials and not the farmers and even blamed the media. • In 2018, Tandon landed into controversy after shooting for a commercial in Lingaraj Temple's 'No Camera Zone.' An FIR was filed against her by the temple authorities after a clip featuring Raveena giving beauty tips at the Lingaraj Temple in Odisha’s capital city of Bhubaneswar went viral over the social media. • On 1 June 2024, her driver was accused of rash driving after the vehicle in which the actress was travelling hit three women at Bandra’s Carter Road. The family of the injured alleged that the actress was under the influence of alcohol and hit the women after she got out of her car. A video of the incident later went viral in which the actress was seen calming down the people and saying “Please don’t hit me.” [2]The Hindu |
