Raveena Tandon has shared her thoughts on the changing landscape of comedy in Bollywood, expressing concern that female actors are no longer given the kind of comic roles they once enjoyed. Known for starring in several memorable comedy films in the 1990s, including Dulhe Raja , Pardesi Babu , and Andaz Apna Apna , Raveena has now returned to the genre with the recently released multi-starrer Welcome to the Jungle .
