While highlighting the importance of a degree during a conversation with the ETimes, Raveena shared an unheard anecdote from her college days. The actress added that even after debuting into Bollywood with the 1991 film, Patthar Ke Phool opposite Salman Khan, she continued pursuing her degree.

In her words:
“One day, our principal called me to the office and suggested that my parents consider pursuing a degree through correspondence, as they couldn’t ensure security when I came to take exams.”
