Raveena Tandon's Kargil War incident
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had previously expressed his fondness for Raveena Tandon. He himself expressed the same, and the Indian Air Force took full advantage of this. During the Kargil War, the Indian Air Force had dropped a missile in Pakistan, on which was written, "To Nawaz Sharif from Raveena Tandon." A heart and an arrow were also depicted alongside their names on the missile.
In an interactive session on Twitter, Raveena spoke about the incident. She said that she saw it much later. She also advised the whole world that if anything can be negotiated with love and talk, please do it. "However, I would advise the whole world that if anything can be negotiated with love and talk, please do it. Khoon ka rang laal idhar bhi hai aur udhar bhi (People bleed on both sides of the border). No one should feel proud about any mother losing their sons or daughters… If I have to stand there [defending the border] to safeguard my country, de do mere haath mein bandook, main vahaan khadi ho jaaungi (give me a gun and I’ll stand there)," she said.
This sentiment was also depicted in the film "Shershaah," which narrates the story of Kargil War hero Captain Vikram Batra. Also, Nawaz Sharif had expressed his fondness for Raveena Tandon during one of his visits to India at that time.
