Raveena Tandon shares why Patna Shuklla's script appealed to her
During an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Raveena Tandon was asked what made her accept the role in Patna Shuklla. She responded, "I think it was very important for something like this to come out. There was not much awareness about it. In fact, I didn't even know that something like this does happen till I read the script. Then when I started googling, I was like so many incidents that are happening.
This is regarding our young students who are our future; they are the ones who are going to shape the new India. Their lives are being played with when they are just starting off. So many of them lose hope. So many of them have lost their loves probably while just trying to come to terms with the fact that their future is completely destroyed. So this is something that we want to give hope to people that yes these things do happen, but there are ways also to battle through it."

The Andaz Apna Apna actress added, "When I started searching the scams on the internet, there was so much. There were university scams, there were fake mark sheet scams. Then there are paper leak scams, scholarship scams, and admission scams. So imagine what a common man goes through when they are just starting off their life, and they have invested all that they have through their meager sources of income in their children's future, and then something like this happens. Where do they go? What can you do? It's such a helpless situation.
That's when Arbaaz and I got to talking. We have children nearly the same age, and they are both students. We were like, 'God forbid, this happens to anyone whom we know.' It's something we believed very strongly in."
