Raveena Tandon

Daughter of Bombay film industry (Bollywood) director 'Ravi Tandon' (qv). 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)_ (qv) that she tasted success. _Mohra (1994)_ (qv) made her a superstar all set to become Bollywood's reigning actress. However she then began a tangled affair with co-star 'Akshay Kumar' (qv). All her films flopped and her arch-rival 'Karisma Kapoor' (qv) 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)_ (qv) and she now is again a top rung star.::An RT fan
