Raveena Tandon, who recently celebrated her 47th birthday, has opened up about her debut film and her experience working with her first co-star Salman Khan. Raveena joined films in 1991 when she did Patthar Ke Phool with Salman Khan. The action film was helmed by Anant Balani, produced by G. P. Sippy, and written by Salim Khan.

Talking about her experience making a debut with Salman Khan, Raveena said, “We were like two kids in a class who just wanted to fight over everything. I was sixteen and a half and Salman must have been 23. We were both brats. Salman and I are of the same naturewise, we were almost brought up in the same house as Salim’s uncle and my dad used to work together. It was like we were continuing our fights from home. We fought throughout the film and Salman said ‘I’m not going to work with her and then we did Andaz Apna Apna.”

After Pathar Ke Phool, Raveena and Salman appeared together in several movies including the timeless comedy classic Andaz Apna Apna, Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaye, and more.

When asked about her favorite co-stars, Raveena Tandon, “I think of all my heroes. I love Salman, Sanju, Suniel, Jaggu, Chi Chii (Govinda), they are all my buddies.” Her next project is with Sanjay Dutt.

In an early interview, she had opened up on how she went from interning with Prahlad Kakkar to working in a film. “One day I was in one of the studios in Bandra and my friend Bunty, who was a filmmaker, I knew him because I had done a few advertisements with him, asked if I was in Bandra. I said yes. To that, he said, ‘come outside, Salman (Khan) and I are passing by, just say hi to us’. I remember my friends were more excited that my co-actor is Salman Khan and they encouraged me to go ahead. So, that was how my journey of being a film actress began.”

On the work front, Raveen Tandon, who has stayed away from the big screen since her film Maatr in 2017 will next be seen in K.G.F: Chapter 2 along with south superstar Yash and Sanjay Dutt. She is also set to make her digital debut with Netflix’s Aranyak which will release early next year.
