Raveena Tandon recently revealed that she turned down five films before making her debut with Patthar Ke Phool in 1991, alongside superstar Salman Khan.
The actress revealed that she had received multiple film offers before accepting her debut role."Before that, I had already said no to five films," Raveena said on Kiska Brand Bajega. The actress shared how excited her friends and she were about this offer.
