ACTRESS Raveena Tandon, who has started hosting Isi Ka Naam Zindagi, a chat show that highlights lesser known facts of a celebrity’s life, says trying her hand at something new makes her nervous.

“I was nervous about the show as I had never hosted anything before,” the 37-year-old said at an event in Mumbai, India.

“But there is a comfort level as most of the people I interview are my friends or were my co-stars. But you are bound to be nervous when you are doing something new as it requires a lot of spontaneity and alertness,” she added.

Raveena, who has earlier judged shows like Chhote Miyan, Comedy Ka Mahamuqqabla and Chak De Bachche, says she is coping up with the challenges of being a host.

“A host has to keep things together and it is tougher than judging.

But I am enjoying this show as it has a human touch. We are getting to see the human sides of our celebrities and that is what I like about the show,” she said.

The 13-episode show kicked off on February 25 on NDTV India with Raveena talking to Vidya Balan, her family and friends. The expected guest list includes Ajay Devgn, Madhur Bhandarkar, Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar and Boman Irani.

Meanwhile, Raveena has finished shooting for her two upcoming films - Shobhana 7 Nights and Gin Liya Aasman.
