Rasha Thadani, daughter of Raveena Tandon, recently made her Bollywood debut with Azaad, sharing the screen with Ajay Devgn’s nephew, Aaman Devgan. While the young actress is stepping into the limelight now, she reflected on her relatively low-profile upbringing, crediting her mother for shielding her from the media glare.
In an interview with News18, Rasha shared her thoughts on the evolving paparazzi culture, expressing gratitude for her mother’s conscious decision to protect her from excessive public attention during her childhood. “If I was exposed to them as a child, I know that I would’ve ended up becoming a very different person,” Rasha said.
She highlighted how the current trend of photographing children, even outside schools, can have a significant impact on their development. “Nowadays, I see kids who grow up under so much attention and scrutiny,” she remarked, pointing out the challenges of navigating personal growth under constant public observation.
Reflecting on her journey, Rasha admitted that she only began feeling comfortable with the idea of being in the public eye in the past couple of years, as she prepared for her debut. “Childhood is a vulnerable time, and the experiences one has during it can shape who one becomes,” she said.
Rasha also acknowledged the challenges faced by celebrities’ children, with every aspect of their lives scrutinized by the public. She praised Raveena Tandon for balancing her life in the spotlight while ensuring her children’s privacy. “Being in the limelight as a child, with everyone knowing who you are, can have a lasting impact,” Rasha noted.
With her debut in Azaad, Rasha is now ready to embrace her journey in Bollywood, while staying rooted in the values instilled by her family.
