Raveena Tandon wants to seek new pastures. So, after having convinced non-mainstream filmmakers of her abilities as an actress, she has begun sending out feelers to directors in the quest of comic roles.

She wants to explore uncharted territory probably because the competition is hotting up for meaty roles in meaningful cinema what with Karisma ruling the roost, Tabu in a league of her own and even Ash and Manisha sacrificing the bump and grind formula for serious cinema. Therefore, Ravs is determined to shed her sexy image and try out comic roles. She enjoys watching Pyar Kiye Jaa and has lost count of the number of times she has seen it. But the real reason for her sudden craving for an image of a comedienne is her being "an ardent fan of Kishore Kumar`s."

"I wish I could be like him — multi-faceted and multi-dimensional," she yearns. Knowing her, that`s bound to be a tall order. But keep trying, Ravs!
