Tabu has always been this one actress that stands out from the rest. And other than the fact that she has this stunning presence on the big screen, the actress has proven her mettle time and again with the roles she's chosen and the characters she's played. And today, we've got the actress talking all things movies and how she chooses to play the roles she does.
In a recent interview where the actress was asked whether the roles she is offered aren't good enough, she said, "There are roles coming my way and I have got the best of offers over the years. The people I work with should be established filmmakers and I should cherish the acting experience. I don’t choose films for great roles. I have done fewer films because often what I am offered is something I do not want to do. My approach to selecting films is different".
The actress was even asked what she sees in a movie before signing it. To which, the actress replied, "Mujhe paisa mil raha hai ki nahi (am I getting the money or not)" and laughed. On a serious note, she added, "I should like what is being offered. Otherwise, even if you are paying me any amount, I won’t be a part of it. Also, as you grow in your career, you start being fearless; experience teaches you to test new waters and not be scared". The actress even spoke about the fearless choices that she's made over the years. She said, "I am not afraid of people anymore. I don’t think too much because I know I can handle most situations. I am not affected by things anymore and I can tackle situations in a better way. I have also started experimenting with the kind of roles that I do. 'Haider' was a risk-taking character, but people today remember me as Ghazala (her character’s name in the film) and not as Shahid Kapoor's mother".
