She is in a league of her own - having won two National Awards for Best Actress and several others. But try heaping praise on Tabu and she is most likely to get into an introspective mood, look out of her apartment window remorsefully and mumble, "The Khans haven`t found me happening."

Though aunt Shabana Azmi considers it a major triumph - that is, to be able to hold her own without the support of the reigning trinity - Shahrukh, Aamir and Salman - the lissome Hyderabadi actress does find it "odd" to be completely ignored by them. `I did come close to working with Aamir for Indra Kumar`s Mann, but I was dropped because I am taller than him."

You need not lose any sleep over that, Tabu. After all you`ve achieved much more than most actresses that are blessed with the benison of the Khans.
