The National-award winner for her best of movies, compassionate Samaritan, hard-working wife and a devoted mother of two, Raveena Tandon, the ‘mast mast’ girl of the ’90s and the one ‘jo ankhiyon se goli mare’ can be described as all of the above and perhaps much more. While she has mostly been in the limelight for her films, social events and her charitable personality, there is a side to her that very few are aware of. Here is more to know about her where we discoverd her soft interior behind a tough personality.

Inspite of giving a huge number of hits on the box office, what made you go off the screen for some years?

Well an obvious answer to this question would be that I got married and soon after that I was pregnant. For early 3 months of my pregnancy I was shooting for a film ‘Dubara’ and a TV serial but later in the 4th month I decided to quit my job and enjoy my preganancy and spend time with my family and baby. I would say job and work is nowhere important than the family, so I opted for my priority that is my family.

How do you balance work and personal life?

Though it's tough but as we know, in India we have a traditional system of joint families where the old look after the young members of the family and the young look after the old members of the family and I am a part of it. I live in a joint family and I am thankful to God for this. I have my mother-in-law and my mother at home to look after my kids and take care of them while I am out for shooting, endorsements or events. It becomes a great help for me to leave my kids and go out for my work.

You are glowing and you look extremely fit for a mother of two. How do you do it?
