Raveena Tandon (born 26 October 1970
at Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) is an Indian actress,
daughter of director Ravi Tandon.
Biography
Raveena got her name from a combination of her father's
name Ravi and mother's name Veena.
Her first film Patthar ke phool (1991)
was a flop, however she received the Filmfare Lux
New Face Award. Her career was saved by the hit comedy
Andaz Apna Apna. She made headlines with her fight
with Karisma Kapoor, the other leading lady in the
film.
Her next film Mohra made her a superstar
overnight. The hit song Tu cheez badi hai mast mast,
had signified that Raveena was here to stay. Her on
screen chemistry with Akshay Kumar was to turn into
an off screen romance. Her rival Karisma Kapoor got
her chucked out of many top films and she suffered
a huge setback. Her films flopped at the box office,
but her career was back on track with her hit film
Ziddi, (1997).
She then began to do films which ganered
critical acclaim rather than box office success. Films
like Shool (1999), Bulandi (2000) and Aks (2000) won
her huge acclaim. She won the Filmfare Special Performance
Award for Aks. However her best performance was in
the film Daman: A Victim of Marital Violence (2001),
where she played a wife of an abusive husband. Her
years in the industry paid off when she won the National
Film Award for Best Actress.
