I did whatever I wanted to: Tabu

Two National Awards as Best Actress and an experience of over three decades in Bollywood have takren Tabu to a space where there is no room for self-doubt, but the acclaimed actress reveals that even today she questions herself a lot before signing a new project. “(It’s) Not self doubt, but I try to ask myself lots of questions before saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a project.

I want to be sure, because that is important for me. I ask myself, ‘why am I doing it?’, or ‘why don’t I want to do this particular thing’? When I am convinced with my answers, only then will I go ahead with it. However, a film’s becoming successful or not is a chance that everyone takes,” Tabu said. 


Did stardom and survival come at a price? “I didn’t have to trade anything. I did whatever I wanted to. Whatever I have given, I did on my own will. I did not think of it as a sacrifice. I did what I liked and didn’t do what I didn’t (like). There are ups and downs in every profession but I don’t look at those as sacrifices,” Tabu quipped. The 47-year-old actress will next be seen in Jawaani Jaaneman, a comedy co-starring Saif Ali Khan.
