13 May
Summary
- Society obsesses over women's ages more than they do.
- Ageing is a gradual process, not an overnight event.
- Tabu prefers honest script rejections over date excuses.

Tabu, known for her authentic approach in cinema, recently spoke about the societal obsession with a woman's age. She pointed out that external pressure regarding aging is often far greater than any internal concern. The acclaimed actress clarified that aging is a slow, continuous process experienced daily, rather than a dramatic overnight change.
In the same interview, Tabu discussed industry expectations for declining film projects. She recalled advice to avoid giving genuine reasons for turning down a role, suggesting the use of scheduling conflicts as a polite excuse. However, Tabu stated her preference for honesty, believing it's important to express if a script doesn't appeal to her.
Looking ahead, Tabu has a busy schedule. She was recently featured in the horror-comedy 'Bhooth Bangla' with Akshay Kumar, released on April 17, 2026.
