Raveena Tandon Regrets & Reveals Photo Request Anxiety from Traumatic Mumbai Experience

Raveena Tandon has expressed her discomfort with photo requests when she is by herself.

The actress took to social media to explain that this anxiety began after a difficult incident in Bandra, Mumbai, where she was wrongly accused of being drunk and causing a car accident, an accusation that was later refuted by the Mumbai police.

Raveena described an unsettling experience in London where she felt overwhelmed. On September 12, she apologized on social media for not accommodating the photo requests.

She attributed her reaction to the lasting impact of the traumatic Bandra incident, which has made her avoid similar interactions.

Hi , this is just to put on record . That a few days ago in london , I was walking by and a few men approached me , I anyway have heard not such great things about the crime situation here, so I withdrew a bit when they asked if I was who I am, and my first instinct was to say no…

The actress chose to write, “Hi, I’d like to clarify what happened recently in London. While walking, a group of men approached me. Given my concerns about local crime, I became wary when they asked if I was who I am. My immediate instinct was to deny it and quickly leave, as I was alone.

They were simply looking for a photo, which I usually don’t mind, but the trauma from the Bandra incident a few months ago has made me quite anxious. I’m okay when surrounded by others, but I still feel uneasy when alone.”

It all happened in the month of June when a man alleged that Raveena Tandon’s driver had struck his mother and that the actress had assaulted her while intoxicated.

In police investigation, that included analyzing CCTV footage from the Khar building where the incident supposedly occurred, showed that while the women were near the vehicle, they were not actually struck by it.
