Some things are meant to happen in their own time. If you ask Raveena Tandon, she will tell you that Karmma Calling couldn’t have happened at a better time. The official adaptation of the popular American series, Revenge, was originally offered to her a decade ago, but the actor didn’t feel ready for it. Director Ruchi Narain, however, was certain that whenever the show would be made, Tandon would lead it.
Today, as she fronts the Disney+ Hotstar series, the actor is pleasantly surprised at how things fell in place. “It’s flattering and such a huge compliment when a
director says that even after 10 years, she thought of me for the role. In today’s times, nobody waits for anyone,” says Tandon, recounting how 10 years ago, the show was being made for television. “They wanted 280 days of a year then. This time, they made it crisper, shorter, smarter, and I liked this version.”
