Thursday, 11th June 2015, 6:09 PM IST Not many know that Raveena Tandon was offered the role played by Shefali Shah in ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. But the actress opted not to do it. However, the reason behind not doing the film was that director Zoya Akhtar had asked her to put on weight, so that she looks like a mother to Priyanka Chopra. A source said, “Zoya was very keen to have Raveena in Anil Kapoor’s wife’s part. But when Raveena did a photo-shoot she looked like Priyanka’s sister rather than mother. Zoya suggested that Raveena put on weight and add wrinkles on her face through makeup. Raveena didn’t relish the idea. That was when Shefali was brought in.” A close friend of the actress informs that, “Not just Zoya’s flick, Raveena has also rejected lucrative ads which require her to endorse domestic products with children. Raveena knows playing a mother on screen of any size and in any format is the end of her career as a leading lady.” “Why would Raveena do that to her career, when, after seeing her brief appearance in ‘Bombay Velvet’ critics wrote she should have been paired with Ranbir Kapoor?” the actress’ friend asked.
