`Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned,` seems to be a truism in actress Raveena Tandon`s case. The girl, who was unceremoniously dumped by fiancée Akshay Kumar, picked up the pieces of her life, albeit bit by bit. From `item` numbers to the National Award for Daman, Raveena miraculously reinvented herself.

Today, she has interesting releases lined-up. Madhur Bhandarkar`s Satta has her playing Anuradha Chauhan, a spirited politician. In Sangeet Sivan`s Sandhya, a psycho thriller, she has a complex role. In Kundan Shah`s Ek Se Badh Kar Ek, Ravs has attempted the comic. Moreover, a complex-free Raveena has also signed an Akshay starrer, Bhandarkar`s Aan.

The actress has also turned producer. Two films, Pehchaan and Stumped, are being produced under her banner Reel Life Entertainment. In between facing the camera, the actress- turned- activist is splashed all over for promoting vegetarianism (PETA), creating awareness about environmental issues and working for underprivileged children through CRY. When not busy with all these, she shares photo opportunities with politicians Amar Singh and Sushma Swaraj among others. Now, can Akshay match up to such a well-rounded life?
