The best roles may still be hers for the asking, but Raveena Tandon seems to be consciously cultivating a traditional, sari-clad image of late. No, we are not suggesting that Ravs is over the hill. In fact, the lady, with her procelain complexion and hourglass figure, can still give actresses far younger than her a run for their Bolywood moolah.

But as one industry smart alec whispered: "It`s time for her to settle down, what with many of her contemporaries having given up work in order to look for the right guy." That might indeed be true. Stardom, Ravs realises, is ephemeral. Companionship is. So it`s about time for her to gear up for life after films. Hence the coy desi look.
