Filmstar Raveena Tandon said she was amused over the controversy raised about her getting the National Film Awards for Best Actress for her role in Kalpana Lajmi's Daman.

"The only effect that the whole thing has on me is that I am very very amused. It was supposed to be a democratic vote. And just because two people were not pleased and did not get their way, they are standing up and blasting the whole system," she told Star News.

Raveena expressed her amazement over the fact that just because two members of the jury were unhappy, the rest of the 14 members were to share that unhappiness as well.

Asked whether she had campaigned for BJP in the 1999 Lok Sabha elections, she quipped, "You are a mediaperson. Do you have any footage or do you remember anything of that sort? Surely, you would have known."

"Controversy is part of our lives. And so far whatever I have been reading are false allegations. I don't even know the people who are talking about all this. And I don't think it has really affected me at all," she added.
