Raveena Tandon is cautiously jubilant about the success of her web series 'Aranyak'. “I never go into anything with too many expectations. If it works, I am happy. If it doesn’t, I don’t sit and curse my kismet over it. 'Aranyak' seemed special from the day it was narrated to me. I had earlier said no to so many web shows. Some of them went to be hit. I would sometimes &nbsp;wonder, did I &nbsp;make &nbsp;a &nbsp;mistake by saying no to those &nbsp;serials?”

Raveena has no regrets about saying no to so many serials. “I have no time or patience for regrets. I firmly believe what has to happen will happen at the right time. I never was the Friday-fever kind of star, shivering about the fate of my films every week. If they worked, and a majority of them did, fine. Or else better luck next time.”

'Aranyak' has surprised many cynics by its level of acceptability. So is this party-time for actresses above 40? &nbsp;“I feel the doors were opening even before the &nbsp;OTT took over during the pandemic. &nbsp;The new generation of actresses like Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt had so much more to do in their films than I had an opportunity to do. Back then when I did something like 'Shool' or 'Daman' &nbsp;I was criticized for breaking the commercial economics. If you did something out of the box you were seen as a spoilsport. I had to work so hard on convincing Ram Gopal Varma that I was right for the role of the Bihari housewife in 'Shool'. He was like, ‘Raveena, when I close my eyes I don’t see &nbsp;you in that character.’”

For Raveena doors were opening even before the OTT explosion. “I &nbsp;was offered KGF 2 long before 'Aranyak' on Netflix. I was supposed to be in Part 1 also. But at that point in time, I &nbsp;was not sure if I wanted to be in a star-driven franchise. So they used my body double in Part &nbsp;1. In Part &nbsp;2 I am there in a significant &nbsp;role.”

Raveena is now considering other projects on OTT. “I am looking at scripts. Most of them are very interesting and they have powerful roles for me. But I have to think of other factors. My children and my husband, who are the biggest kid of them all, need my time and attention. At this juncture of my life, I can’t be studio-hopping. I’ve nothing to prove.”
