1990s Film Set Frenzy: Actress Raveena Tandon Recounts Nonstop Schedules

Raveena Tandon reminded the audience that the 1990s were a period of constant hustle for Bollywood talent. She noted that both she and Kareena Kapoor were often booked for several films simultaneously, leading to days packed with back‑to‑back shoots. The actresses would move from one location to another, sometimes spending as little as thirty minutes changing outfits before stepping onto a new set. This whirlwind of activity meant that the line between different characters blurred, and the focus shifted to simply delivering the director’s instructions. Raveena emphasized that the sheer number of projects made it easy to lose track of a character’s arc, especially when the same role type—such as a wealthy, troubled girl—appeared across multiple films.
