Tabu is an actress who leaves a mark on each character she portrays on screen. The actress reveals how one cannot stay in one character for a long time, “I don’t think that we have the luxury to stay in one character for a long time. And anyway, in between shots, we are going in and coming out of that character. And we have no other option but to get out of it because once you are done with the film or a particular day of shooting or that one shot, you are back to reality.”
Tabu said her character in ‘Haider’ was the toughest, “But then again, time and nature take their course, and you would come out of anything and everything. Of course, it depends on how much you think about the film and your character — how it has affected you and what your bandwidth is.”
Tabu talks about how some memories stay forever after playing the character on screen, “[Sometimes] The people you have worked with, some special memories, the entire experience stays with you. Whereas, sometimes, nothing stays at all.”
Talking about working in a comedy film ‘Golmaal Again’ Tabu said, “Well, I have done films like ‘Hera Pheri’ (2000), ‘Biwi No. 1’ (1999), ‘Sajan Chale Sasural’ (1996). So it’s not that I am not fit for comedy. It’s just that films in this genre are not often made, but with a huge franchise like ‘Golmaal’, I could take that risk. Even I thought that it’s the right time and it would be a good change for me to break from the usual. I started getting a lot of feedback from fans saying that now we would want to see you in an out and out comedy film doing some lighter stuff.”
