On To Tabu Topics

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,July 05 2006]

She is a unique combination of striking looks and brilliant acting. That’s Tabu for you. Mostly away from the media glare, she was also at the receiving end of scathing critics who are unable to understand why she had to do the bit-role in Kunal Kohli’s ‘Fanaa’. In her characteristic style, she handles the criticism with a fair bit of ease by saying that it was Yash Chopra who had introduced her sister Farah in the world of films with ‘Faasle’ and by doing the small role in ‘Fanaa’ it was her way of repaying the debt.

The National Award winning actress is living her dream by working with Amitabh Bachchan in Adman Balakrishnan’s directorial debut ‘Cheeni Kum’. Without doubt she is thrilled about acting with “The Mr Bachchan” but she is underplaying that excitement as well. Quiz her about ‘Chandni Bar’ sequel and she candidly replies that a mere comment by director Madhur Bhandarkar that he would like to take the story forward considering the change in misfortune of Bar Girls after Home Minister’s ban is being construed as an announcement. So, the official word is that as of now there’s no sequel but one never knows about the future. Besides, ‘Cheeni Kum’ Tabu is eager to begin work on Mira Nair’s much awaited ‘Namesake’.

We at IndiaGlitz are eagerly looking forward to Tabu in more fleshed out roles and yes we are of the opinion that she deserves much more than bit roles in ‘Fanaa’.
