For Indians, the Padma Awards represent the highest honours ever to be bestowed on one by their country. It was quite a memorable day for Raveena Tandon, as the actress was announced as one of the winners of this year’s Padma Shri awards. The actress’ day was made all the more special when wishes poured in from the who’s who of Bollywood, and her loved ones decided to celebrate her glorious win with the pomp it deserves.

Along with Raveena, Juhi Chawla was another rising star in 1990s Bollywood. Juhi took to Instagram to congratulate Raveena on her ‘super impressive achievement’. Saying that she was very happy for her fellow actress, Juhi wished that Raveena continues to shine.
