Raveena Tandon

   Rohini Iyer

The name is:
Raveena Tandon

Your claim to fame :
Winning the Filmfare Best Newcomer award for my first film Pathar Ke Phool, the title of 'mast mast' girl, and winning the National award for Daman.

On a scale of 1-10, how Net-savvy are you?:
I would give myself a 5. Computers used to petrify me before I figured it was just a matter of getting used to them. A friend of mine created an email ID for me and I was completely hooked soon after. I would mail friends constantly, and lug my laptop everywhere just to listen to some music.

How often do you surf?:
It depends on my shooting schedules. If I am free, I make it a point to log on once or twice during the day, though I usually end up surfing really late after the pack up. If I'm on an outdoor shoot, I check my mail constantly to see what my friends are up to.

What do you like best about the Web?:
Everything. It just makes life so much easier, and is like a whole new world opening up on your monitor.

If you could change something about the Internet, it would be:
Slow connection speeds. Also, the Internet really confuses me at times. In my early days of surfing, I once called a friend at 2 am because the e-card I was trying to send her wasn't going through! Of course, we had a good laugh over it but, yes, I sometimes wish I had a twenty-four hour instructor online to help me whenever I get stuck.

Raveena Tandon Your idea of a perfect Web site would now be:
Something like a perfect Hindi film; a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Informative as well as paisa vasool entertainment.

Do you go ego surfing, checking out pages or sites devoted to you?:
Ego surfing? Interesting word. I've never heard of it before. To answer your question, no, the thought never crossed my mind. I do try search engines for information on the latest Hollywood films or stuff on fashion, make up, etc. but have never checked out pages or sites devoted to me. Now that you mention it though, I think I will, tonight. Sounds like a great idea!

One celebrity you would like to chat with:
Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck. I simply 'loooooooooove' him.
