Raveena, who was in the capital on Thursday to promote her new film \u2018Maatr\u2019, was asked about singer Sonu Nigam\u2019s comments demanding a ban on loudspeakers during azaan.<br \/>\nAfter his comments, Sonu shaved his head and apologised earlier this week. \u201cIf we look at the current scenario of our country &#8211; whether you look at people of any religion &#8211; fanaticism is wrong. We have always lived as a secular and strong country and we should be allowed to do so,\u201d Raveena said.<br \/>\n\u201cIf Diwali firecrackers are being controlled, I promote that. But it doesn\u2019t mean I am becoming communal. It depends on each person\u2019s individual thinking what they think and what they find. In a way, I do believe that we need to go towards a modern, more secular and liberal India. Fanaticism is wrong,\u201d she added.<br \/>\nWhile talking about Bollywood, Raveena said, \u201cI have been born and brought up in the entertainment industry. My father (Ravi Tandon) was a film director. I got food from my father, then my husband (Anil Thadani) and myself. I respect my industry a lot. I am not saying this because I am connected to it. I don\u2019t think any other industry in India is secular as much as the entertainment industry. We don\u2019t see who comes from where and which caste. Talent and hard work are recognised.\u201d<br \/>\nDirected by Ashtar Sayed, the story of \u2018Maatr\u2019 deals with rape and violence against women in Indian society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Raveena Tandon said that when it comes to religion, the Hindi film industry is the most secular one as compared to others.
