To this generation, who know her mostly through her songs, Raveena Tandon is someone who made the saree look sexy.
She said it all through her expressions without unnecessary skin display. But there's more to Raveena than being an item girl. I remember meeting her as a rookie journalist and being swayed by her charm and warmth. Those days, we used to chase the stars to their shooting locations and conversations happened during the shooting breaks. Raveena always made sure the journos were comfortable and had plenty to eat and drink. And her off-record conversations were legendary as she knew everything about everyone. Her personal take on people and trends were howlarious. Her journey, from being labelled "Miss Arrogance" to earning accolades for her profound performances in films like Shool, Daman and Maatr, reflects her dedication to meaningful storytelling and social issues. As a mother, Raveena champions independence and resilience, believing that mistakes are part of growth. In an industry known for its scrutiny, she has embraced challenges with dignity, inspiring a generation both on-screen and off. Excerpts from a chatathon with the actress with whom you can talk all day and not get bored.
You were one of the first girls I met as a rookie reporter at 19 and I noticed you didn't have a chaperone on the set.
Many heroines then were accompanied by their mothers. But now you're a mother to a budding heroine, Rasha. Do you feel protective? Should your daughter make her own mistakes as she debuts soon?
