Raveena who's currently busy arranging special shows of Rakeysh Mehra's Rang De Basanti which
her husband Anil Thadani is distributing in Mumbai, is both amused and impressed.
"My mom's pomeranian made front-page news. I'm so shocked and yet so impressed. It just shows
that the power of the press runs both ways. What appears like a trivial issue can bring immense
relief and joy to someone. I was so amazed when my photograph appeared with Rambo (the dog) in
the front page."
"It was a morning-time snap, no makeup photograph. And Rambo definitely
looked fresher than I did...Jokes aside, I'd like to say we did nothing to get written about. In fact
when my mom's dog went missing my dad approached the advertisement sections of the press to
put in an ad for Rambo's retrieval. That's how the news leaked out."
The entire Tandon household heaved a sigh of relief at Rambo's return.
"Those who are not
animal lovers will never know what it means to lose a pet. With my brother being busy with his own
thing and me being married and out of our house Rambo is my mother's third child. I can't imagine
what she would've done without Rambo."
Raveena can't stop raving about Rang De Basanti. "It's definitely one of the best films I've seen after
Black. Aamir is of course terrific. But Atul Kulkarni and Sharman Joshi take you by surprise."
