Tabu is one of the best actors of our times and she has given several amazing performances in her long and illustrious career. Two of her finest performances came in critically acclaimed films 'Maqbool' and 'The Namesake' in which she shared screen with magnificent actor Irrfan Khan. In a recent media interaction, Tabu recalled working with Irrfan and shared how her life and her character changed after being influenced by him.

She told Film Companion, “He affected me a lot and I changed a lot after working with him. It’s like those people who come into your life and redefine it and make you see things differently. I learnt to be completely true to my characters and myself and bring that to my work.”

Talking further about her equation with the actor, Tabu shared, “I can’t even start to say what he meant to me, but I can say what I shared with Irrfan on-screen, I don’t know if I can and if I have shared that with anybody and that’s for everyone to see.”

Irrfan passed away in 2020 after a long and enduring battle with cancer. He was last seen in the comedy drama 'Angrezi Medium'.
