Tabu has as much to look back at as she has to look forward to. Raghuvendra Singh meets b-town’s sexiest single
Tabu. A short name that encompasses a humungous career. A concise identity of a woman, who walks tall among peers. Self-made. Self-reliant. Subtly sexy. A performer, who’s rediscovering herself with every role, every film. Spanning English, Hindi and South cinema in 25 years, her characters leave an imprint on your mind to inhabit in you forever. Panna in Hu Tu Tu, Mumtaz in Chandni Bar, Aditi in Astitva, Nimmi in Maqbool, Ashima in The Namesake, Ghazala in Haider, Simi in Sriram Raghavan’s black comedy AndhaDhun… Tabu familiarises you with unfamiliar landscapes and uninhabited worlds. And it’s not only the grim and gritty that’s her calling card. She’s at ease with the fun and frothy too – perhaps a side-shoot of her crisp sense of humor that close ones are privy to. Hera Pheri, Chachi 420, Aamdani Atthanni Kharcha Rupaiya, Cheeni Kum and more recently Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again, where she plays a ghost-buster, reiterate her fine comic timing. “I’m enjoying this phase. I’m able to do what engages me, inspires me. I’ve got the opportunity to work with fantastic directors and great minds like Sriram Raghavan, Mira Nair, Vishal Bhardwaj…” says the actor, who recently wowed audiences with Akiv Ali’s 100-crore plus rom-com De De Pyaar De.
