"I have done films which have a social relevance, and have a message of women empowerment. My choices have always been like that. Whether it is `Jaago`, `Maatr`, `Satta`, `Shool` or `Daman` . All these films have dealt with issues of women that were strong," the actor told PTI in an interview here

Actor Raveena Tandon says she has always tried to pick socially relevant stories with strong female characters and the Padma Shri award is a recognition for her body of work in cinema. The actor, who was recently conferred with the Padma Shri , India`s fourth-highest civilian award, starred in critically-acclaimed movies like `Maatr`, `Satta`, and `Daman` in her over three-decade long career.
Tandon, whose filmography boasts of commercial entertainers as well as off-beat movies in the `90s and early 2000s, said her endeavour has always been to associate with films that speak of women empowerment.
