From her vibrant debut on Mumbai’s bustling streets in Patthar Ke Phool to her riveting portrayal of a ruthless character in her latest web series Karmma Calling, Raveena Tandon has essayed a variety of diverse roles, capturing hearts and minds across generations. In Femina’s February 2024 issue, the multi-talented artist offers us a glimpse into her process of role selection, candidly discussing the transformative shifts that have shaped her recent endeavours. The Cover Story offers an exclusive insight into the actor’s journey.
Speaking about the way she approaches her work, Raveena reveals, “It is my strong belief that… every day is a new chapter and a new learning experience. I never close myself to that, since I am a director’s actor. I leave myself at home when I’m on the set, and hand myself over to the director to mould me into the character that is solely his or her vision.”
About her most recent role, she says, “In Karmma Calling, I play an unapologetically rich and powerful, high-society lady, the ultra-glamorous Indrani Kothari who does not shy away from deceit or betrayal. What excites me is doing something completely different from what I’ve done last, and Indrani was that.”
With regard to her life’s philosophy, Raveena shares, “I don’t expect anything from anything or anyone… If it comes to you, great; it will be a pleasant surprise. If it doesn’t, you continue putting in your hard work and leave it to the audiences and to fate. It’s something I learned from my dad, and never let go of.”
In this interview, Raveena exudes positivity and resilience, transcending the noise of trolls and embracing the joys of family and career with grace
