Meet India's only actress who played wife, mother and loved to same actor, her name is...
The actress in focus is Tabassum Fatima Hashmi, widely recognized as Tabu. With a rich career that spans several decades, Tabu has worked extensively in both Bollywood and the South Indian film sectors. She continues to captivate audiences with engaging roles on OTT platforms, receiving critical praise well into the digital age.
Tabu started her cinematic journey at a young age, first appearing on screen at just 11 years old. She made a significant impact with her talent right from the beginning. In the Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000), she played a romantic lead opposite southern star Ajith, sharing the screen with notable actors like Aishwarya Rai and Mammootty. Her first film, Bazaar, was released in 1982, and she later appeared in her second film as a child artist at the age of 14. Tabu's Stellar Telugu Debut
Besides her work in Hindi and Tamil films, Tabu has also performed in Telugu cinema. Her Telugu debut was in Coolie No. 1 (1991), opposite Venkatesh, a role that helped kickstart her Bollywood career. That same year, she starred alongside Ajay Devgn in Vijaypath, a box-office hit that solidified their lasting on-screen chemistry and personal friendship.
An intriguing aspect of Tabu's career is her portrayal of three different roles alongside the same actor: Telugu cinema superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna, affectionately known as Balayya. Even at 65, Balakrishna remains a significant presence in the industry, recognized for his commitment and on-screen charm. When Tabu Played The Role Of Wife, Mother and Girl-Friend
In 2002, she appeared alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna in Chennakesava Reddy. In this movie, Tabu portrayed Balaya's wife and mother. Later, in 2008, she took on the role of Balaya's girlfriend in Pandurangadu. This means Tabu has played 3 different roles with the same actor.
