Recently honoured with the Padma Shri award, in recognition of her contribution to Indian films, Raveena is known for her performance in movies like Patthar Ke Phool, Dilwale, Mohra, Ziddi, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Daman and Aks. Most recently, she appeared in the Yash-starrer K.G.F: Chapter 2 and Netflix crime thriller web series Aranyak, while her upcoming projects include a romantic-comedy film Ghudchadi, in which she will be seen alongside Sanjay Dutt, Parth Samthan and Khushali Kumar; Vivek Budakoti-directed Patna Shukla; and a Disney+ Hotstar project.
At the Hindustan Times India’s Most Stylish Awards 2023 held on May 7, Raveena was honoured with the title of Style Hall of Fame - Female. While both Akshay and Raveena are often lauded for her fashion choices, when actor Riteish Deshmukh asked them on stage, “Who could be the Malaika Arora of the 90s?” Akshay said, “It could be Mamta Kulkarni.” While Raveena too agreed, she was quick to change her opinion saying, “I think it would be Shilpa Shetty, as she always had a very classy sense of style.” However, they also said that Malaika too belonged to the 90s.
Known to have been friends for a long time, Raveena and Shilpa have also shared screen space together in films like Shool, Pardesi Babu, Jung and Dus. Remember, the two divas also grooved together to Chura Ke Dil Mera at Super Dancer 4 last year.
