'I'm exclusive', says Tabu, and why not? This gorgeous actress is a volcano of talent. Lets see what she has to say!
'There's a certain ring to it isn't it? Padma Shri Tabassum Hashmi (yes, that's her full name),' she says with a broad smile.
'Coming from a middle-class family in Hyderabad, I was an introvert. I chose to be the way I am. Today, when I look back at my long and meandering journey in tinsel town, it seems worth every moment of hard work.
With no backing of a Godfather or any other man, this award celebrates my achievement as a single woman.'
'I am taking small gaps in between my films to experience the other aspects of life. I will consider pursuing them, if it pays good money to me. Well, why not? I am not closed to any new ideas. But films are my first love.'.
Known as a private person, Tabu still prefers to remain in the midst of a chosen few. 'I am not reclusive, I'm exclusive. With such a big population around us, does everyone open up to everyone else. In that scenario, I am in a majority.'
'I've crossed many a cultural and gender barriers as a woman. I've always gone with the flow. Today, I stand tall and feel proud of my decisions. Tomorrow's another day. Masha Allah!'
