Biography:
Raveena Tandon is the daughter of Bombay film industry (Bollywood) director Ravi Tandon and her mother Veena is a home maker. Her name is an amalgamation of her parents' name.
Raveena dropped out of Bombay's Meethibai College to pursue a career as a model with middling success.
Raveena made her movie debut with the flop - Pathar Ke Phool (1991). 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.
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.
She made her comeback in Bollywood with Amitabh Bachchan's Bbuddah…Hoga Tera Baap (2011) where she did an Item number.
Personal Life:

Controversy:
In November 2005, Tandon sued the websites, Shaadi.com and Shaaditimes.com, claiming that they were using un-authorized images of her to promote the site. She also sued the owner Satyanet Solutions, as they claimed that Tandon and her husband had met through the website.
