Raveena launches book on parenting on Children's Day


Actress Raveen Tandon launched a book on parenting on Children's Day at school in Mumbai. With two biological and two adopted children Raveena became the ideal candidate to launch the book.

The book titled How to Teach So Kids Can Learn proposes to share knowledge on the right way to teach children. And Raveena sure swears by books on parenting.

"I myself take a lot of lessons from these kind of books because in our daily life, we get so busy that we sometimes forget the basic things. So these books help us to mold our kids into better citizens," she said.

"I personally read a lot of these books and have learnt a lot and one of the few things is never say no to a kid, distract him to something else but never say no," she added.

Apart from sharing a few tips with parents who were present for the event, the actress also took a trip down memory lane, recalling how she spent Children's Day as a child.

"On Children Day it used to be a holiday in school so we used to really cherish that, teachers used to perform to make us feel special and then we used to have a small party in every class," she recalled.

With two movies in her kitty now, including one with Tabu, Raveena will surely be in the spotlight in the days to come. Advertisement

I’m glad to make a Comeback With ‘Chaasni’: Raveena


National Award winning actress Raveena Tandon wants to do only mature roles in her second innings in films and is excited about playing a lawyer in “Chaasni”.

“I’m getting to play a lawyer in the film and I’m excited because this is going to be my comeback film,” Raveena, who played an advocate in 2005 gripping drama “Pehchaan”, told IANS in an interview.

The film is being directed by Revathy Sharma and also stars veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, Ayesha Takia and Urvashi Sharma. “Chaasni” is a remake of the Tamil film “June R” and stresses the importance of adoption of those who are old. It is Sharma’s homage to elderly people.

Raveena, who made her Bollywood debut with “Patthar Ke Phool” in 1991, is returning to the arc lights after a four-year hiatus with the movie and says she was “hell nervous” when she gave her first shot for the movie.

“The first day of shooting for ‘Chaasni’ was very encouraging. I gave my first shot and the entire unit started clapping. I felt like - ‘This is where I am meant to be’. I delivered one dialogue in one take and Revathy said ‘Okay’ and my day was made,” said the actress who took a sabbatical after tying the knot with Anil Thadani in 2004.

Raveena also said that she wishes to do only such roles in her new innings in the industry.

“I’m very glad that I’m making a comeback with the kind of roles that I want to do now - the kind that challenge me more than I can cater to. I do see a lot of scripts, but I’m now inclined to roles like I played in ‘Shool’, ‘Daman’ and ‘Satta’ - something more evolved and something that suits my personality now,” she said.

The actress is also judging kids’ comedy show “Chhote Miyan - Chapter 2″ on Colors channel. She enjoys her stint on the small screen, but says that she doesn’t wish to sign too many films right now.

“I want to take it (movies) slow. I’m doing one film and one TV show. My kids are quite young and I don’t wish to overwork and then not be able to spend time with them. I will take things easy as far as films are concerned because they need more time,” said the mother of two.
