New Delhi. 52-year-old Tabu has been ruling the film industry for 30 years. She worked as a child artist in the 1985 film ‘Hum Naujawan’, in which she played the role of Dev Anand’s daughter. Her first film as a heroine was the Telugu film ‘Coolie No. 1’. In this film, she worked opposite Venkatesh Daggubati. The 1994 film ‘Vijaypath’, which was released at the box office about 30 years ago, was her first Hindi film. In this film, she was paired with Ajay Devgan. The chemistry of both of them was well-liked in this film. Now, while talking to ‘News 18’, Tabu has made a revelation about her 30-year career. She also talked about career selection and age in films.
Tabu says that now she would like to choose roles according to her age. She felt that older actors have started playing younger roles on screen. Tabu said that earlier when there was no concept of age reduction, different actors used to play the young roles of the hero.
Unlike other actors, Tabu does not want to play the role of a young woman on screen. She said that if she is offered such roles, she will not do them. She said that she does not think that she will be ready to play the role of a 30-year-old girl now. Tabu clearly said that she has no choice but to accept her age. She is happy with this and will choose roles that are appropriate for her age.
Tabu believes that at times, younger actors can look pretentious, especially when the audience knows their actual age. Tabu further added that the audience has seen how they look in the present. However, older actors playing young roles depends on the character and its concept. In some cases, it can work well, but for ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’, they didn’t need it, and it works better that way.
