Reflecting on her groundbreaking dramatic roles, she reminisced about the lively atmosphere on set in the past. She remarked, "The atmosphere on set used to be so much fun. People would be teasing each other about fights, affairs, revenge dramas… It used to be action-packed."
Speaking about the competitive nature of the film industry, Raveena highlighted the prevalence of insecurity among some individuals who resort to pulling others down to prevent their success. She emphasized, "Some people are insecure, and they can't bear to see others succeed. They look for ways to pull others down. This could be via their relationships, via the groups they belong to, they could come at you via your boyfriends and girlfriends. Our industry is undoubtedly competitive. But which industry isn't? It's the same in the world of politics and corporates. The only difference is that the film industry is written about because people want to consume gossip about famous people. Definitely, people indulge in politics here. It's happened to me as well."
