Raveena Tandon on patriarchy: ‘Still a challenge for women’

Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon, who is receiving lots of positive responses for her work in the ‘Disney+ Hotstar’ movie ‘Patna Shuklla’, feels that despite progressive laws and the improved thought process of society, patriarchy is still very much prevalent in the current times.

The ‘Maatr’ star also said that women still face the challenges thrown by patriarchy in both their personal and professional circles.

Elaborating on the same, Raveena, who plays lawyer Tanvi Shukla in ‘Patna Shuklla’, said, “Patriarchy is something that every woman has faced and is still facing, be it at work or home. ‘Patna Shuklla’ is a journey of a woman commanded by patriarchy and one who breaks away from it.”

“Tanvi doesn’t see patriarchy as a challenge. She chases justice and breaks the glass ceiling of patriarchy along the way. I want the audience to take in Tanvi’s courage, warmth and determination because no challenge will sustain for long then,” she added.

The film dives into the education scam of fake roll numbers that affect the lives of thousands of earnest students in India.

Produced by ‘Arbaaz Khan Productions’ and directed by Vivek Budakoti, the courtroom drama is currently streaming on OTT streamer ‘Disney+ Hotstar’.
