The talented actress has also been associated with commercial projects such as Hera Pheri, Chachi 420, Biwi No. 1, Hum Saath-Saath Hain, Golmaal Again, De De Pyaar De, Bharat and Andhadhun. All the roles, Tabu says, have shaped her as a person. “I am made out of my work. The characters I have played (have given me) tremendous belief in myself as an actor, and shaped me to be a creative person with the influences I carry. The directors I have worked with have altered my world view. They have introduced me to things I didn’t know about culture, Kashmir, Shakespeare, relationships, deceit and also illicit relationship. My understanding of the world has increased,” she said.
