Tabu is relevant because she didn't care about being seen. She kept doing the work she liked, hits and flops didn't matter. And today she's reached a point where every film she does, eventually becomes her film. A career spanning across 30 years, she still has so much to offer. I would love to see more of these, maybe with Rani Mukerji next.
oh God I miss Rani who is one of my absolute favorites. What's happened to her announced movie 'Mrs Chatterjee ?' Eagerly waiting to see her on screen again🥺
@@abdulrahmankhan667 A Rani Mukerji movie deserves a theatrical release. She still has a great fan following just like in her prime years. I'm sure if the content is fantastic then it will work wonders at the box offfice. Wish to see her soon😭
He is still busy promoting that movie and taking credits for it's success. I unfollowed him recently, I know he is an outsider and struggled a lot but come on be humble too.
Shahid’s observation nailed this interview ‘ Hindi cinema needs to rise to Tabu’s brilliance’ and it surely is .. she is mailing every performance and maintaining her upward trajectory . A timeless beauty who carries a movie on her shoulder without the PR and marketing drama
Truly, Tabu is brilliant. Her acting prowess shines through all fronts like a prism. To continue with SK's remarkable praise for Tabu, hindi cinema only seems to rise to brilliance with Tabu.
She's probably the only decent, true female artist in the Hindi film industry. She's an absolute phenomenal, and I truly don't think there's anyone other actress who's like her. She's so sacred, pure and loving. Wish she had done more movies, there's no match to her talent and greatness when it comes to acting. Someone rightly said she's in the league of Madhubala and other's from that generation when they use to do actual acting. Love Tabu
I would like to mention Konkona Sen Sharma as well. With her venturing into directing, I look forward to an even more diversified filmography. That said, Tabu is a class apart.
Aapne shayad unki all movies nahin dekhi voh bilkul bhi decent nahin hai, movies mein jo ladies act kartey hai unhe decent samajhna hamari bewakoofi hai
@@jayabharathi207 I think you are the one who is making indecent comments. Cearly, you don't know anything about acting, performing or what it takes to be an artist, the art of filmmaking as well 🙄 😒 😑
When I tell people my favourite Indian Actress is Tabu, Shefali Shah and Vidya Balan, to my surprise everyone agrees to that no matter their first choices were. That's a respect one can achieve, through sheer hardwork and not just luck or "Big Break". Tabu, Shefali Shah and Vidya Balan are not just "One Hit Wonders". They're much more than that. That's an aspiration for any actor.
Here's a phenomenal actress..blessed with beauty n talent..with awesome body of work.As an actress, her tears are so genuine, her emotions so real n her shenanigans so spine-chilling- easily one of the finest in Indian Cinema. Hers has been a spectacular life as an actress: 20s: Kala Pani, Maachis, Virasat, Hu Tu Tu, Astitva 30s: Chandni Bar, Maqbool,The Namesake, Chini Kum 40s: Life of Pi, Haider, Drishyam, Golmaal Again, Andhadhun 50s : Bhul Bhulaiya2 Each different from the other, each showcasing her formidable versatility. More power to her.. 🙏
Intelligence, humility, kindness, real yet such an enigma.. What a champion of the craft.. Tabu is one of a kind.. An actor we are lucky to see blossom in our lifetimes!
Film Companion, despite acting like the champion of feminism, literally sat down and decided, "Let's take an interview of a senior and marvellous actress and make the title, ummm... not about her." See, this is the problem. I am not trying to undermine the contribution of Irrfan Khan. You can definitely make a separate video from the trimmed part of Tabu's interview to honour him. You can post insta stories and everything. But this is the entire interview. Let's make it HERs, right?
Love her! Bhul Bhulaiya is her movie not Kartik's. She is right. I just feel bad that she is not getting the credit she deserves. She is giving hit each year since Haider
One of those actors who just can't give a bad performance irrespective of how the movie is! Her screen presence is pure magic just like the late great Irrfan❤️❤️🙌🙌
For every question about what is the secret behind, when she starts answering I feel she is just being graceful and saying the usual lines everyone says but few moments later I realize that she is still answering the question and it's not the usual lines, there is more to it than what she starts with. Shahid said very correctly about bollywood coming to a stage where it deserves Tabu. What Mira has to say her Tabu jaan and what Vishal has to say about her eternal love and him not be able to work without her these three lines made my day. I feel like she can do anything. More power to her and lots of prayers, love and respect. Thanks for this interview.
Such a joy to see an artist reflect and ponder over her expansive body of work with such sensitivity, nuance and yet so much humility. Absolutely in love with her as an actor, a human and an enigma of her time and beyond. Thank you very much Anupama for always doing this for us.
Such a big fan of Tabu, her acting and as a person. She wears her fame so lightly. Totally loved this interview and what Anupama Chopra said at the end was the absolute best " I hope Hindi cinema continues to be deserving of you " ❤️
Tabu is tabu because she is not affected by what others are doing . She is not threatened by any actress .she has distinctive image. I strongly feel that she deserved much more. She is underrated actor .her dam care attitude towards rat race makes her beautiful .
normally i watch interviews at 1.5 x speed but Tabu, i watch it at normal speed because i really want to savor her. she is so beautiful, articulate and classy. she has been my crush when i was 10-12 yrs old and now my son is growing and i am pretty sure he will develop a crush on her. she still has been beautiful and relevant.
Why would she even care about paparazzi and the noise surrounding the actor.She has been around for about 30 years now and she is the national award winning actor.Look at the variations she has given us.Superb actor.And yes as always Anu is a delight.
She’s one of the greatest living legends of Hindi cinema today and still so underrated. She’s probably one of the most consistently successful actor of the last decade- critically or commercially. And one of the most beautiful faces working on screen too. Truly one of the rarest gems. ❤
Would have loved to see her play Nandini (Aishwarya Rai's character) in the upcoming movie Ponniyin Selvan. I'm sure Tabu would have done a much better job in bringing out all the complexities and layers in that character. When I read about Nandini's character, I could only visualise Tabu as her for some reason. Such a great actress (and also human being)!
I have no words to describe this Legendary Actress Tabu! She is just beyond perfection! Such an Exceptional, Brilliant, Immensely Talented, Beautiful, Gorgeous Actress! Her acting, screen presence, performance, everything is just beyond excellence! Words would always be less to compliment her! One of the finest actors in the industry! It's always a treat for the eyes to watch her! May she keep shining always and achieve all the success and happiness of the World! The Real Godess she is! 💯🔥💖✨
Though she says there is no secret behind her career choices, a kind of enigma is still there. I like the fact that she does not push herself to be always in limelight. No loudness in the way she presents herself. Shahid is right in saying that Hindi cinema deserves her. Wish she does many more movies in all other languages. Thank you Filmcompanion and Tabu for the wonderful conversation
The greatest people never sing their praise or fish for compliments and are always humbled/surprised by any form of praise. Despite being such a veteran she is always a bundle of joy and absolute stunner. Not once has one felt that she acts like a tantrum-throwing diva. Tabu is humble greatness personified. My absolute favourite actor today!
.. there was Sridevi.. and there is Tabu... do not remember anybody in between.. and she still continues after 35 years.. one powerful performance after another, each acclaimed critically and commercially... I am positive there is no one else with so much success not even a male actor.
no you are wrong sridevi was talented beautiful but tabu extraordinary much more talented than her sridevi dialogue delivery hindi urdu diction was quite strange tabu natural beauty and other side sridevi had nose surgery before joining hindi film industry and not once but so many surgeries its true fact and you are exaggerating them many more good actresses still there dimple kapadia kajol Priyanka aishwarya deepika you cant deny them.
@@yasmeenmirza1508 lol.. i am lost in what are you saying.. are u praising both sridevi and tabu or you are saying they are both not good enough.. u have confused yourself.. or u r saying dimple kajol etc are better than sridevi and tabu.. save the embarrassment and delete your comment :)
Watched the full interview being hooked to it. She literally is a mystery like Mira said. It makes ppl more attracted to her. Never boasts of her achievement. Grateful to her loved ones. Love n respect from Bangladesh.
I loved from her debut Prem .. what a journey she came through to be where she is. From being treated as a non starter side character to taking over Indian cinema at 50+ age. Her films are so many and so profound and crosses language barriers world cinema. She is the embodiment of perseverance and overcoming to reach the top of all tops of acting success.
Indian cinema is lucky to have an actress like Tabu - though it doesn't deserve her fully yet. (Half a dozen more Gulzars and Vishal Bhardwajs could have made it more deserving). Actors of her skills and range lend meaning to cinema itself. Perhaps except the one exception of what Sridevi did in Chaalbaaz, Tabu is capable of reprising and excelling all other great performances that Indian cinema has produced so far in its century long journey. She is a special talent, blessing the world of art and the commoners like us with moments and instances of cinematic/artistic excellence.
Such a genuine, simple and aware soul. Sometimes being eloquent comes, not from reading or practice but from being free of pretence. Such a delightful chat. Thank you 😊
Tabu is phenomenal and her acting range is unbelievable. She can do anything and that too effortlessly. The Namesake, Chandni Bar, Biwi No.1, Maqbool, Vijaypath, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Fitoor, Jeet, Jai Ho, Aabar Arannye ( Bengali film), Andhadhun and so many South Indian films...no matter what the role is or the length or the language Tabu just knows how to nail it every time.
Love her so much and had to say it here because of how everyone is hailing Karthik Aryan as the poster boy for hits in Bollywood when clearly Tabu was the star of BB2. Whether she was on poster or promotions, people came back to watch her and her performance. Forever fan of Tabu and wish Indian movie industry celebrated her like we do these male actors with 1 good movie 👸🏽
Needless to say she is the best actress from bollywood.. ones who are same aged or bit older , like madhuri, kajol were just irrelevant for last 20 years. But she is in top of her game ever since she started her acting.
Mujhe lagta hai Tabu can explain her thoughts better in Urdu/Hindi. I really wish this interview wasnt conducted in English. Even her sense of humor comes out well. But I still enjoyed it.
Tabu laughter is contagious, even Anupama laughed openly. Brilliant actress, love her acting & other one is Irfan khan, awesome actor, unfortunately we lost him, a big void in cinema & ya, miss him.💛
Either Tabu is being modest or she's an extremely gifted actor. I don't recall hearing such showers of praise from superlative filmmakers like Vishal Bharadwaj,Mira Nair for anyone.
Regretting the fact that I discovered this gem of a performer late in my life… But still I rewatched all of her movies and interviews and no words are enough to describe her… She is truly one of kind and I won’t think performers with this talent, aura, intellect would be born… I can only picture the best of the lot as Meryl streep, Cate blanchett, Sridevi, Tabu… I’m just grateful to even live during her generation and get inspired… Such a Goddess she is ! Not a single male star other than Irfan Khan could match upto her… facts !
Tabu's true talent i saw in Chandni Bar and Maachis. I live in the US. I recently watched Chandni Bar and was so impressed with her acting. Truly international class. Btw i'm also from Hyderabad.
tabu spoke so well and right from the heart. .such a candid conversation.i also noticed that she never used the word " ORGANIC" or "ORGANICALLY" like other actors who keep using this word as fashion to describe " naturally "
One of the finest actresses of Indian film industry... Not only Bollywood she did many South indian blockbuster films in Tamil and Telugu... Proud of her as she belongs to South India... 😍
She is the true boss lady worth a dozen male super stars without all the over the top drama of some other younger leading ladies who are trying too hard to project being a feminist. She silently lets her work speak for herself and is a role model for generations to come. She is “ cut with the eternal cloth “ for sure “ .
It’s such a blessing we have actress like u in our life who we can relate to and imagine being in her shoes it’s always a delight watching her #hututu #iruvar #chachi420 #maqbool #drishyum #fitoor #dedepyaarde #maachis #kondukondain ❤
Someone who have loved "A suitable boy" book so much I was quite disappointed with the series but the best thing about it was Tabu she was amazing. Ishan and Namit were also good
Marvellous and measured interview so nice to see anupama also dig into a meaty conversation and Tabu didn't hold back i felt like she's super emotional and was generous about talking about her work. Thanks for this
There is nothing that can get me to watch horror movies but Tabu being in it and especially getting great reviews for her performance in it has put me in the biggest dilemma ever of my life! 😭
i feel so happy by just seeing her do anything, she is a forever favourite and love. there is so much maturity, depth and stillness and yet full of life. she continues to do work that keeps me engrossed and wanting to see her more. love everything that she does. lots of love to her 😘😘😘😘😘
My favourite actress ❤ since I was in school, probably after watching Kaalapaani... and till date, I have never found anyone who could possibly replace her
Big fan of Tabu. I think she doesn’t need a director to make an impact, but why was there almost no mention of Gulzar. He was in many ways responsible for exposing the incredible talent of Tabu to us nineties kids
IMO, Tabu is the best actress of all time, followed by Meryl Streep, Shabana Azmi, Nargis ji, and Jessica Chastain. If someone asked me for a top 5 actress list this would be mine.
I went and watched Bhool bhulaiya 2 because of her. She is really good. I've been loving the way she is being part of family entertainers like Dhrisyam, De de pyaar de, bhool bhulaiyaa 2, ala vaikuntham puramaloo, golmaal 4, etc. I was always curious why she was not being casted in mainstream movies as she had shown how good she is hera pheri, chenni kum, etc. It is really delightful to watch the way she gets fits in any kind of role. Keep it up 💕 Also, I've a request that please don't be part of any woke or anti-national propoganda movies.
TABU! What can I say about you, You're a NEVER-ENDING POEWR-HOUSE performer and such a nice human being. All I can say is- Keep doing more and more work and mesmerise us with your different skills :) Stay blessed.
I Love Tabu a lottttttttt. She is my inspiration. She is one of the most talented actress.... I just love her work a lotttttt.... Want to see her more in good movies, not like bhulbhulaiya... She is a gem of Indian film industry... Gem shouldn't be wasted like this. 💙
Tabu is relevant because she didn't care about being seen. She kept doing the work she liked, hits and flops didn't matter.

Everybody agrees she is a phenomena.. where is she underrated..
Not just Indian cinema; Tabu is one greatest actors in ALL of the cinema, ever
Would have loved to see her play Nandini (Aishwarya Rai's character) in the upcoming movie Ponniyin Selvan.

Sad that makers care about stardom.

It’s such a blessing we have actress like u in our life who we can relate to and imagine being in her shoes it’s always a delight watching her #hututu #iruvar #chachi420 #maqbool #drishyum #fitoor #dedepyaarde #maachis #kondukondain ❤
Someone who have loved "A suitable boy" book so much I was quite disappointed with the series but the best thing about it was Tabu she was amazing.
Ishan and Namit were also good
I want Tabu & SRK in a movie, that is to be directed by Mani Ratnam Sir...
Marvellous and measured interview so nice to see anupama also dig into a meaty conversation and Tabu didn't hold back i felt like she's super emotional and was generous about talking about her work. Thanks for this
Tabu is 51 and so gorgeous! I think inner happiness and maintaining good health play a big role in aging well.
I loved this interview. Tabu is real.. Real actress 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolute talent
Supreme beauty
Womanhood personified
She’s the one I adore as much as or probably more than Smita Patil ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this FC!!
They complement each other so well on screen without having to say much 🤗 May Irrfan always have a wonderful time even up in the heaven 😢
What a beautiful start to the day with The Tabu herself...thanks Film Companion ❤️
There is nothing that can get me to watch horror movies but Tabu being in it and especially getting great reviews for her performance in it has put me in the biggest dilemma ever of my life! 😭
Tabu is female Irfan, in the sense that if she's in a film I'll watch it even if it means enduring Kartik.
😆
She & Irrfan are the one and only international stars not the Priyankas of this world. Classy stars. iMHO
Tabbu is only true love ❤❤❤❤
I love her, respect her, adore her, cherish her and treasure her.
Tabu is National Treasure
i feel so happy by just seeing her do anything, she is a forever favourite and love. there is so much maturity, depth and stillness and yet full of life. she continues to do work that keeps me engrossed and wanting to see her more. love everything that she does. lots of love to her 😘😘😘😘😘
I hope Hindi cinema continues to be deserving of you. Anupama Chopra - that was the rightest thing to say to the Queen of acting!!
It’s such a joy to see her speak her heart out with her feet firmly grounded ❤
There is Tabu and there are other actresses. ❤
Tabu is an inspiration..she is truly a versatile and incomparable artist
One of the greatest actresses in Hindi Film Cinema!
My favourite actress ❤ since I was in school, probably after watching Kaalapaani... and till date, I have never found anyone who could possibly replace her
Such an underrated and amazing actress. Very humble too
Big fan of Tabu. I think she doesn’t need a director to make an impact, but why was there almost no mention of Gulzar. He was in many ways responsible for exposing the incredible talent of Tabu to us nineties kids
I was wondering about it too. Gulzar, Vishal, Irfan and Tabu were like a family and skipping Gulzar seemed odd.
If the film is a tabu starrer, it is worth a watch. Astitva is my all time favourite.
Bhool bhulaiya 2 made the money it did because of her, period.-
what a delight man. just pure bliss to see her charm and lightness.
Tabu : finest of her kind.
IMO, Tabu is the best actress of all time, followed by Meryl Streep, Shabana Azmi, Nargis ji, and Jessica Chastain. If someone asked me for a top 5 actress list this would be mine.
Tabu is the best actress of Hindi film industry
Beautiful interview.
Many thanks FC.
What a lovely interview from FC with a grounded star actress! Thank you ❤
I went and watched Bhool bhulaiya 2 because of her. She is really good. I've been loving the way she is being part of family entertainers like Dhrisyam, De de pyaar de, bhool bhulaiyaa 2, ala vaikuntham puramaloo, golmaal 4, etc.
I was always curious why she was not being casted in mainstream movies as she had shown how good she is hera pheri, chenni kum, etc.
It is really delightful to watch the way she gets fits in any kind of role.
Keep it up 💕 Also, I've a request that please don't be part of any woke or anti-national propoganda movies.
She is an institution in herself. The characters she chose and played should be part of film school curriculum to study and preserve.
Most underrated actress. 🥺
THANKYOU FILM COMPANION.. FINALLY SUCH LONG INTERVIEWS from SUCH ACTORS.. AFTER SO LONG.. THANKYOU❤
15.23 - 16.58 /17.46 - This is why her personality inspires & probably reflects in her performances
Lovely listening to two intelligent, beautiful and ladies, who are professional and engaed with their craft wholeheartedly. What a journey Tabu.
TABU! What can I say about you, You're a NEVER-ENDING POEWR-HOUSE performer and such a nice human being.
All I can say is- Keep doing more and more work and mesmerise us with your different skills :)
Stay blessed.
Consider including timestamps for longer interviews and roundtables, helps the impatient viewer navigate through them quicker
Done!
I Love Tabu a lottttttttt. She is my inspiration. She is one of the most talented actress.... I just love her work a lotttttt.... Want to see her more in good movies, not like bhulbhulaiya... She is a gem of Indian film industry... Gem shouldn't be wasted like this. 💙
