Actress Raveena Tandon has strongly denied the reports that she has been lax in her duties as the chairperson of Children's Film Society of India (CFSI). She says she is committed to her work even though she is supposed to rest because of her pregnancy.
Speaking to a news agency, Raveena said: “I took on the job because I love children and wanted to work for them in some capacity. Even though my doctor advised me against traveling, I still go to office regularly.”
One of the accusations that Raveena hasn't attended a single meeting of CFSI has turned baseless as the records show that she has attended every meeting.
“I'm not taking a single penny, and then I'm subjected to these baseless charges. Right now, in my condition, I don't need this kind of stress. I haven't even taken any maternity leave. I'm working, looking at files, talking to new directors for films even in this condition when I'm supposed to take it completely easy,” she is quoted to have said.
Raveena also rubbishes the charge that she doesn't attend office every day, stating that CFSI's chairpersonship was an honorary post and the person holding it isn’t required to attend office every day, as her predecessors Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi weren't required to do so either.
