Raveena Tandon is definitely an inspiration to many when she decided to adopt her distant cousin’s daughters, Chhaya and Pooja, at the mere age of 21. Motherhood came naturally to her when she brought Chaya Malaney and Pooja home, after witnessing the ill-treatment by their guardian.
Soon after, Raveena Tandon got married to the film distributor, Anil Thadani in February 2004. And the couple's family was completed with the arrival of Rasha Thadani in 2005 and Ranbirvardhan Thadani in 2007. On July 12, 2023, Raveena’s son, Ranbirvardhan turned 16, and the doting mom penned a heartfelt wish for him.

In an interview with Filmfare, Raveena Tandon spoke about her son, Ranbirvardhan Thadani and was quoted as saying:
"He's a wise, old soul. I believe that he's my grandfather or someone like that who's been born to me again. He is so mature for his age. When we used to go for parent-teacher meetings, they would tell me that he's such a gentleman. There was a supervisor who used to call him 'Buddha'. She used to say that he is a wise, old Buddha who talks less and does his work."
Here's wishing Ranbirvardhan a very happy birthday!
