This actor vomited on Raveena Tandon's hand, recalls her most bizarre on-set experience, her name is...
Raveena Tandon, now 52 and still active in Hindi cinema, made her debut in 1991 opposite Salman Khan in Patthar Ke Phool. While her daughter Rasha Thadani just stepped into Bollywood with Azad (2024), Raveena continues to dominate key roles in films. But long before stardom, she had one very messy introduction to showbiz. Who puked on Raveena's Hand? In an old episode of Farooque Shaikh's TV show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, Raveena appeared with ad guru Prahlad Kakkar. Dressed in a sharp green suit, the actress—who was then in 10th grade—spoke about one shocking incident during an ad shoot. The campaign featured a young model, none other than Aftab Shivdasani, who at the time was just 10 years old. He was playing a chocolate-obsessed kid, and after multiple retakes and consuming a heap of chocolate, the inevitable happened. Here's what happened on the white set? Raveena recalled that Prahlad Kakkar had warned everyone that not a drop of anything should fall on the pristine white set. Moments later, a visibly nauseated Aftab was on the brink of throwing up. In panic, Raveena instinctively held out her hands, catching all of it. 'Meri haath mein poori ulti aa gayi,' she revealed, saying the smell nearly made her vomit too.

Before becoming an actress, Raveena Tandon used to work as..., her life changed after her boss asked her to...
In the 1990s, when Bollywood was transforming itself, many actors including Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and Govinda climbed the ladder of success by delivering power-packed performances. Despite being in a male-dominated profession, there was an actress of the time who made her way up and, within only a few years, gave tough competition to all her male co-actors. She was none other than Raveena Tandon. Raveena started her career in Bollywood in the 90s. She is the daughter of the famous producer-director late Ravi Tandon. While Raveena became a famous figure in the industry, you will be shocked to know that Raveena never wanted to be an actress. Yes, you read that right! Just like her father, Raveena also wanted to try her luck in direction. However, fate had something else in store for her. When she was just eight years old, she assisted her father on one of his films. She also did an internship under renowned ad director Prahlad Kakkar. After assisting her father for a film during her eighth grade, Raveena Tandon started learning things like ad filmmaking, pre- and post-production with a view to becoming a filmmaker after her 10th-grade studies. For this, she took the help of Prahlad Kakkar, whom she also considers her boss. During her college days, Raveena continued working under Prahlad Kakkar. It was during one of these times when she was offered a film opposite Salman Khan. Upon receiving the offer, Raveena was hesitant and skeptical. However, it was her boss, Kakkar, who advised her to take the opportunity. In an interview, Raveena opened up on the matter and said, 'My boss Prahlad Kakkar also used to say that how long will you stay behind the camera, you should come forward. I was rejecting offers one after the other. Then I was offered a film Patthar Ke Phool with Salman Khan.' This became a game changer in Raveena's career, and she made her debut in 1991 with Patthar Ke Phool. The film, which starred her opposite Salman Khan, was a box office success.
