Raveena Tandon apologises to Zaira Wasim, says she regrets her harsh reaction

After Zaira Wasim announced her disassociation with films because it interfered with her practice of religion, it created an undivided debate among the celebrities and fans on social media. While some celebrities like Tanushree Dutta, Anupam Kher and others supported her decision, few were also taken aback and were unhappy with the same. Among others, Raveena Tandon was one of the celebrities who tweeted about Zaira's decision. She wrote, "Doesn’t matter if two film olds are ungrateful to the industry that has given them all. Just wish they’d exit gracefully and keep their regressive views to themselves."

However now reports are doing the rounds that the Secret Superstar actress was forced to quit the industry. Reacting to such reports, Raveena has now apologised to Zaira and tweeted, "If this is true and the reason for her to quit, if she was or is under pressure, then I do feel sad for the girl. Was she forced into writing the long statement by radicals out of fear? She was a role model to so many youngsters with dreams and inspirations that they could achieve."

She also went on to delete her earlier tweet and said, "I wish her luck and strength after seeing this, I now regret my first immediate tweet after reading her statement. Maybe she was forced to write what was unacceptable to people like me who love films, cinema, the industry, that I was born into. Deleting the tweet that now sounds harsh."

After her decision of quitting the Bollywood industry, the actress will not be a part of the promotions of the film, which is slated to release on October 11, 2019.
