Raveena roots for women even with her brand endorsemen­ts

-

Actor Raveena Tandon is known to back issues pertaining to women empowermen­t and has always raised her voice to support the cause. She is also working closely with Unicef to protect the rights of women and eradicate child labour. More importantl­y, the actor is very particular when it comes to endorsemen­ts and opts only for women-oriented ones.

A source close to the actor informs, “Raveena is not only a gorgeous actor, but also a warm personalit­y. At the age of 21, she adopted two girls and raised them as a single parent.”

It comes as no surprise then that even in terms of endorsemen­ts, Raveena has always opted to endorse women-oriented brands. “This is because Raveena has always encouraged education for girls and wants them all to be independen­t,” the source adds.

Raveena is an inspiratio­n to women who wish to make the best out of their lives, and be successful in their respective profession­s. She feels it is very important to spread awareness that women are not ‘the weaker sex’. “I am extremely proud to be born as a woman. I believe it is the responsibi­lity of every citizen to encourage women to take a stand and help them prove their capabiliti­es.”

Raveena is also part of the anti-harassment committee formed by the Cine and TV Artistes’ Associatio­n (CINTAA) to tackle cases of sexual harassment in the industry.
