She is back and how! Last time she was seen romancing a man who was elder then even her father! We are indeed talking about Tabassum Fatima Hashmi!

For starters, she is more popularly known as Tabu, who was last seen in Cheeni Kum in which she was paired opposite none other than the Big B!

And then Madame Tabu did the vanishing act, only to resurface again, this time as the cover-girl of the popular magazine 'M'.

One needs to give a hi-5 to the brains behind this issue of 'M'. Not just the cover looks exceptional, but also the inside text makes us believe that Tabu is definitely the girl next door!

In this issue, Tabu talks about 'The early years', whereby she was always a big child - very chubby and over weight! Guess how many of you knew that! Frankly speaking, we just did not!

Moving ahead, Tabu also speaks about the transition from being normal girl till stepping into showbiz, courtesy Dev Anand spotting her and eventually casting her too in his film!

We tell you readers that simply dig into this issue, if you want to really dig into Tabu's life.

This issue also carries (in Tabu's words) her thoughts on winning her first National Award, having more male friends than females, on her being a private person etc... we would have loved to tell you the whole story.

If we do so, then, there will be no fun in buying 'M'! Hence, look no further; simply rush to your nearest book store, and needless to say...simply ask for 'M' and discover the real Tabu!
