It’s been 24 years since Verve was launched, and here we are now, looking back at the decade of the ’90s through the sepia lens of nostalgia. Featuring people who were trailblazers in film, fashion, advertising or art, we documented and, in some ways, created the legacy that would be inherited by the 30-somethings in 2019, for whom a Baba Sehgal, Aishwarya Rai or a television VJ had been a go-to role model. In this issue of Verve, we have captured all that was already hip, that changed our lives, our thinking and the way we looked at ourselves. And who better to embody it than ’90s superstar Raveena Tandon With her bindass GIF-worthy moves on the silver screen with the then-ubiquitous screen star Govinda, she shed inhibitions in the ’90s and continues to do so, not through the freedom of baring skin, but by simply being herself.
