Raveena Tandon Story: People used to say, 'Many have come and gone, but no one is like Raveena!'

Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon still rules millions of hearts today with her style, confidence, and brilliant acting. When her magic dominated the screen in the 90s, everyone became her fan.

Songs like ‘Tip-Tip Barsa Pani’ and ‘Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast’ not only made her the dancing queen of Bollywood but also created a unique identity for her in every fan's heart.

Debut in Bollywood at the age of 17

Raveena started her Bollywood journey at the tender age of 17 with the film ‘Pathar Ke Phool’.

From her very first film, she proved that she was here to stay in the industry for a long innings.

Born on October 26, 1974, in Mumbai, Raveena is the daughter of director Ravi Tandon and Veena Tandon. Very few people know that her name ‘Raveena’ was formed from the combination of their names.

She had a passion for dance and acting since childhood. While studying at Jamnabai School in Juhu and later at Mithibai College, she started receiving modelling offers. In her second year of college, she dropped out of her studies and stepped into the world of films, never looking back. After this, Raveena delivered one blockbuster film after another. Her characters in films like ‘Mohra’, ‘Dilwale’, ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, ‘Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi’, and ‘Dulhe Raja’ are still fresh in the audience's memory. Her screen presence, expressions, and dance made her the most glamorous and talented actress of that era.
