Raveena's new comic avatar

Raveena Tandon, who has given us rib tickling laughter riots like Andaz Apna Apna and Dulhe Raja, is enjoying her fifth reality show. But STAR Plus' Comedy Ka Maha Muqabala is her first ever comedy show. Raveena is having fun working with her Mohre and feels that though her team is the underdog in the show, they will emerge victorious in the end!

Comedy for you is...

Reliving people of their everyday stress and making them laugh for at least two hours. I want to make people feel light hearted.

What were your reasons for choosing CKMM?
I really liked the concept of the show. It's different from other comedy shows on television. I am truly enjoying this show which is truly funny and entertaining for the audiences. I am extremely excited to have Arshad, Shreyas and Shekharji as co- captains.

What do you think of comedy on TV today?
There is thin line between buffoonery and good comedy. I have always loved clean comedies that can be enjoyed with family. I don't believe in vulgar comedy or comedy with double meanings. In films too, I have acted in comedies which were fun and clean like Dulhe Raja and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan...

Is laughter really the best medicine?
Yes, a smile a day can lighten your day. Even if you smile at a stranger and he returns your smile, it makes you feel good and happy. I don't know how some people are stuck up and don't smile.

When was the last time you laughed after watching something on TV?
I laughed in the last episode of CKMM while doing an act with Sudeshji. We had a complete blast.

Which team is the most talented in the show?
I can't tell which team has the best talent. The acts and performances fluctuate with each episode. I feel every team has a great pool of talent.

What is your take on your fellow captains, their comic timing and their personality?
My fellow captains are really very talented. They have excellent comic timing. I have worked with Shekharji in Ek Se Bhadkar Ek and he is a fabulous actor. I know Arshad from our college days as the director of our inter-collegiate fashion shows. He is a fabulous dancer and after watching his movies, I truly believe he has become an all rounder. And this is the first time I am working with Shreyas Talpade. I have seen his movies and loved him in Iqbal. He is a great actor and having done theatre, it's easy for him to perform stand up comedy.

What brings a smile to your face- on a daily basis?
My kids and my family.

How would you impress your husband with just Rs 100 in your hand?
There are lot many things one can do with just Rs 100. First I would take a horse carriage ride in Marine Lines or Juhu beach. Then, I could take my husband to Versova village, get on a boat, go to Madh Island, lay on a chatai (mat) and buy snacks. We could watch the sunset. All this in just Rs.100!

Which superhero would you like to turn into and why?
I would like to turn into superwoman because then I would be able to do everything for my kids.

Funniest rumour you have heard about yourself?
I've heard some pretty hilarious rumours floating around about myself. I remember a rumour that came out a while back. I had apparently had a fight with my co-actor after which I threw stones from the ground floor to this fifth floor apartment and shattered all the windows! Mera nishaana to dekho!!! I tell you I am superwoman!!! [Sarcastically]

Don't forget to watch Comedy Ka Maha Muqabla every weekend at 9 pm only on STAR Plus
