Everyone is talking about Raveena Tandon's run-in on New Year's eve with her husband's ex-wife Natasha Sippy (who's the daughter of producer Romu Sippy) at Ritesh Sidhwani's party.

Spunky as ever, Raveena doesn't deny there was a run-in which ended with her throwing a glass of wine in the other lady's face. But according to several guests Raveena and her husband were being provoked throughout the evening.

When asked about the incident Raveena speaks on record about her husband's ex-wife 's statement that the matter was between her husband and his first wife.

Says Raveena, "There's nothing between Anil and Natasha Sippy. Everything about Anil has to do with me and everything about Anil has to do with me. He and I are one."

Raveena doesn't deny what happened that night. "And I don't regret what happened . My husband Anil is the purest cleanest person after God and my father. I won't allow anyone to cast aspersions on him. Any insult to him is an insult to me. No one can sully my family and get away with it. "

Apparently Raveena's resentment was brewing against the ex-wife for some time. Their rivalry goes back a long way to the time when Raveena was seeing film distributor Anil Thadani. All sorts of unsavoury rumours were apparently spread against Anil to discourage Raveena from marrying him, and they seemed to permeate from one quarter.

All hell broke lose on that evening at Sidhwani's party where apparently Natasha Sippy was "acting provocative" throughout the party.

That's when the incident happened. Says Raveena, "I repeat...Whatever happened with Anil in the past has to do with our present. I will stand by him, as he stands by me."
