Raveena Tandon Adopted Daughters - The 8-Year-Old Kids Back Then Are Now Sexy And Independent Women

It would be quite controversial to say we are living in a society where we are judged for every single action, every step of our life. People even try to find flaws to discuss, to criticize and no one understands this situation more thoroughly than celebrities whose private life is always the talk of the town. In 1995, actress Raveena Tandon adopted daughters – Pooja and Chaaya and became a single mom at the age of 21. Needless to say, she found herself at the center of controversies back then with a lot of negative rumors talking behind her back.

No matter how honest and genuine your action is, there will be many people out there who are ready to question your integrity. In the Indian culture, girls are normally bought up with several do’s and don’ts due to log kya kahenge. The 21st-century mothers are more open-minded ones who always try to balance between their children and their traditional upbringing without discriminating against them. It’s not far off the mark to say Bollywood diva Raveena Tandon is a case in point.

Touted as B-town’s Shehar Ki Ladki, Raveena broke the stereotype as she decided to adopt two girls named Pooja and Chhaya Tandon when she was 21 years old only. Here is everything you need to know about Raveena Tandon adopted daughters.

On January 25, 2016, Chhaya walked down the aisle with Shawn Mendes as per a Hindu-Catholic function taking place in Goa. Recently, four years after the big day of Chhaya, her mother Raveena took to her Instagram handle to share a series of throwback pictures from her wedding as the actress reminisces about the same.

Raveena Tandon’s relationship with her adopted children

Nine years after raising two daughters alone, Raveena Tandon got married on 22 February 2004 with Anil Thadani.

She added,

"I have given my daughters the freedom of keeping the company they want, but have always told them, whoever is coming to drop you home, should come upstairs and meet me."

Talking about the reaction of hubby Anil Thadani about her adopted daughters, she revealed that Anil understood and accepted them from the beginning. He knows that Pooja and Chhaya are integral parts of his wife’s life.

The actress always wanted to protect her children and that was why she tried to keep them away from the media attention and didn’t bring them out to the public.
