Her debut web offering has given her what two-decade-plus career in films didn’t — the opportunity to play a cop. In Aranyak, Raveena Tandon portrays the role of diligent cop Kasturi Dogra who lands a big-ticket case just when she is about to go on a sabbatical. “It’s a big deal that I got to play a police officer because Kiran Bedi is my idol. I wanted to join the IPS; that was my dream. In films, I never got to play a strong woman in the uniform, but this show came my way. Dogra is a compassionate, nurturing, and fierce woman. I may not have identified with her, but I felt for her,” says the actor.
