Actor Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha, has spoken about her unconventional yet loving upbringing. In a recent interview, Rasha revealed that growing up with her mother’s adopted daughters, Pooja and Chaya.
Raveena was just 21 years old when she adopted Pooja and Chaya. The actress later married film distributor Anil Thadani in 2004, and the couple has two children together—daughter Rasha and son Ranbirvardhan.

In a conversation with Femina, Rasha shared that the four siblings often divided into two teams, with Chaya and Ranbir forming one group, while Pooja and Rasha teamed up against them.
Speaking about their dynamic, Rasha expressed, “Complete and utter madness. Chaya didi and Ranbir are perhaps a little calmer, but Pooja didi and I, we can fight and argue as a team against them.”

Raveena adopted Chaya and Pooja in 1995. Chaya pursued a career as an air hostess, while Pooja became an event manager. In an earlier interview with Hindustan Times in 2016, Raveena had described her bond with her daughters, saying, “My daughters are my best friends. I remember, when I got married, they were the ones who sat in the car and led me to the mandap. And now, I got the chance to walk them down the aisle. It is such a special feeling.”
Rasha Thadani on work front
This year, Rasha made her Bollywood debut with the film Azaad. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor, Azaad told a compelling story about the deep bond between humans and animals, focusing on love, loyalty, and courage. Set in pre-Independence India, the film revolved around a 19-year-old named Govind and his extraordinary horse, while also delving into themes of dacoits and the zamindari system. The film premiered on the big screen on the 17th January, but unfortunately did not receive the anticipated response at the box office.
