It goes well with her when you say, “she has come a long way”.
Tabu’s first shot at showville was Prem, got noticed with the “Ruk Ruk Ruk” number and later proved that she’s got something more than just hip-shaking and running around trees.
She proved her acting prowess and versatility in movies like Maachis and Hu Tu Tu, which solidified her footing in the bracket of serious actresses. A beauty with her head well placed on her shoulder and a national award to cap it all.
There are a few people in showville who actually tries to dig to get to the core of the character they play. Tabu is one of them few folks.
Chandani Bar, Tabu’s latest project is sure is something other actresses in her league will think twice before they tread the path. Based on prostitution and nightclub scenes, Tabu haunted the sleaziest joint in Mumbai to get the real feel of the character of a bar girl. To be natural in every aspect of it, down to jiving alongside real life bar girls, not extras. That’s what you call commitment conglomerated with passion.
Her forthcoming releases Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar and Ghaath, backed by sleek promos and the soundtrack soaring the charts, tinsel-town pandits are expecting it to make ripples at the box-office. And if everything goes well with the show Tabu might do a hat-trick with Chandani Bar.
But Tabu has never eyed the No 1 position in Bollywood. Her attitude towards the glamorous roles has been damned if do and damned if you don’t. Her impeccable portrayal of sensitive roles and her audacity not to get plastered into stereotyped roles have made Tabu an actress to reckon with.
