So, when you watch a movie, I am sure you are a smart person. Whenever you watch a movie, you watch it according to the character of the movie. <!-- -->So, please, thank you for feeling bad about it. But don&#8217;t take it so seriously.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Elsewhere during the event, the superstar, whose romance with actress <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/raveena-tandon\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Raveena Tandon<\/a> during the 1990s enjoyed significant public attention, spoke up about the actress.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The actor shared how times have changed as his former love interest once ruled Bollywood as a heroine but now she has become the heroine&#8217;s mother. The superstar pointed to Raveena&#8217;s daughter Rasha Thadani.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Akshay Kumar also lauded Raveena Tandon for her professionalism and strong set of ethics, as the former said, &#8220;I want to tell you about Raveena that she has been very very professional. I still remember, I was shooting a film where the sun was about to set. And when the sun was about to set, there were only 25-30 minutes. And the green room was very far and she had to quickly change and come. That was impossible. But I still remember, she went to the generator van and quickly changed and came.<!-- -->&#8220;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>&#8220;So that has been, a lot of changes have happened. She (Raveena Tandon) is a brilliant actor. And one more thing that has changed, earlier she was a heroine, now she is a heroine&#8217;s mother,&#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/hindi\/bollywood\/news\/akshay-kumar-explains-flop-actor-remark-in-welcome-to-the-jungle-praises-co-star-raveena-tandon-for-her-professionalism\/articleshow\/131671035.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai, June 12 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has explained the reason behind using the expression &#8220;flop actor&#8221; for him in his upcoming film &#8216;Welcome to the Jungle&#8217;.
