Raveena Tandon reacts after probe over Safari video: 'Close encounters pretty regular'

Actor Raveena Tandon has responded after landing in trouble over her recent safari video. A probe has reportedly been launched against the Aranyak actor for travelling too close to a tiger during a safari at The Satpura Tiger Reserve in Hoshangabad district in Madhya Pradesh. 

Recently, Raveena posted pictures and a video from her safari trip, featuring a tigress and her cubs roaming in the jungle. The actor wrote she shot the video using a zoom lens from her jeep. 

"Got beautiful shots of sharmilee and her cubs in Tadoba. Wildlife shots are unpredictable due to the unreadable nature of our subjects. One tries to be as silent and capture the best moments. Video Shot on Sony Zoom lens 200/400," she tweeted.

Soon after, reports emerged of a probe being launched against Raveena by the Tiger reserve authorities.

In a series of tweets, Raveena shared clips from news channels to explain the nature of the incident. She argued that such 'close encounters' regularly happen and in her case, they were on a tourism path frequented by the tigress. 

"Luckily for us ,that we did not take any sudden action, but sat quiet and watched the tigress, move on.We we’re on the tourism path, which mostly these tigers cross. And Katy the tigress in this video as well, is habituated to coming close to vehicles and snarling," she wrote.

Sharing such previous encounter videos posted online, Raveena responded to the controversy by saying, "Close encounters of all kinds are pretty regular and uploaded by all. God forbid it happens to be a famous person in the vehicle. Guess whose fault is it then?"

Meanwhile, the actor, who was recently seen in KGF 2, will feature in the upcoming comedy, Ghudchadi, co-starring with Sanjay Dutt.
