Raveena Tandon
- Actress
- Producer
Daughter of Bombay film industry (Bollywood) director Ravi Tandon. Raveena
dropped out of Bombay's Meethibai College to pursue a career as a model
with middling success. She made her movie debut with the flop _Pathar Ke Phool (1991)_.
Her next few films were also failures and it was only with Andaz Apna Apna (1994) that
she tasted success. Mohra (1994) made her a superstar all set to become
Bollywood's reigning actress. However she then began a tangled affair
with co-star Akshay Kumar. All her films flopped and her arch-rival Karisma Kapoor
had her fired from some top films. By the end of 1995 her career was in
tatters and she was reduced to the level of a starlet doing bit roles.
Her career revived with a huge hit Ziddi (1997) and she now is again a top
rung star.
