Raveena Tandon is not one to believe that two female actors can’t be friends. In fact, she has more than two, and is therefore quick to dispel this infamous belief many might hold.

Actor Raveena Tandon was last seen in the film KGF 2.

When her film KGF 2 released, she had many of her contemporaries calling her up. “It was so sweet. My colleagues Shilpa (Shetty Kundra, actor) and (rapper) Badshah called up specially, they were shooting together. Both were telling me dialogues from the film, complimenting me. Nagarjuna called me after so many years, I had done a film with him long back, I spoke to him after 22 years! After that I had only met him once at a wedding. When people like these make the effort to call and compliment you, clearly it’s a different high,” beams the 47-year-old.

She adds that Madhuri Dixit Nene praised her too, apart from Sharmila Tagore messaging her when her web show Aaranyak released. “There might be rivalry, but it’s good, healthy rivalry, there’s no harm in that. It brings out the best in you. It has always brought out the best in each one of us. Madhuri, Neelam, I love them so much. Tomorrow, if anything God forbid happens to them, I know I am going to be there with them at any given point of time,” says the actor.
