She may be glamour world`s Mast Mast girl, someone who makes news anyway-be it her new hair-cut or her turning producer (Pehchaan), be it her pet compassions or her misdirected passions. Even when she won the National Award for Daman, it was not without controversy.

But few know that Ms Tandon turned messiah for two orphaned girls of a distant cousin. She rescued them after hearing about the torture they were subjected to by their deceased mother`s step-sister. Raveena, who was then at the threshold of her career and barely in her early 20s, took this brave decision backed by her mother and brother.

The little girls , Pooja and Chaya, have grown into pretty teenagers today. Raveena says that she has shared all her life`s heartaches and happiness with her `dolls` and has herself grown up with them. Helping them achieve financial independence is all that matters to the Rabba rabba Raveena. Must say, that of all the roles Ravs may have enacted, playing Godmother to her darlings, is one which deserves unanimous applause.
