THIS actor once allegedly tried to kiss an actress when she was just 16, she was saved by.., the actor was...
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's often the dazzling and glamorous lives of celebrities that come into the spotlight. However, sometimes the spotlight hides more than it reveals. What happens behind the scenes in Bollywood is often swept under the carpet and is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such shocking tale is of an actor who tried kissing a then-teenage actress under the influence of alcohol.
The people in question are none other than Jackie Shroff and Tabu. A celebration that turned into a controversy
Back in 1987, a success party was held in Mauritius to celebrate the successful run of Diljala. As per the reports, Jackie Shroff, who was said to be under the influence of Alcohol, made several attempts to kiss Tabu. Tabu was barely sixteen at that time, and she was accompanying her sister (an established actress), Farah Naaz, to this celebration.
Tabu resisted his advances, but this episode didn't end until veteran actor Danny Denzongpa reportedly stepped in and physically separated Shroff from the teenager. Later, Tabn's sister, Farah Naaz, who was furious and outraged, went to express her anger and even voiced it in an interview. However, later she softened her stance and labelled this incident as a 'misunderstanding'. On the other hand, Tabu never came out to speak about this incident. The aftermath
While what really happened that night remains a mystery. Tabu and Jackie never shared the screen, and many people from the industry believe that this decision could be the aftermath of the horrific incident that happened in 1987. While neither of the actors has publicly addressed this matter, this incident has left a mark on the hearts of fans.
Despite facing this controversy at such a young age, Tabu went on to carve her niche and create her legacy. Tabu is considered one of the finest actresses in today's time. Some of her successful films are Bazaar (1982) and Hum Naujawan (1985), Maachis (1996), Chandni Bar (2001), Maqbool (2003), and Haider (2014).

'He taught me how to punctuate my dialogues, when to pause, and when not to,' shared Sharmila Tagore with us exclusively, as we connected with her on the occasion of Gulzar's birthday. 'Being a Bengali, my Hindi was not one of my strong points. He made me more confident in my spoken performance,' she recalled. Sharmila Tagore and Gulzar did several movies together, reminiscing about their collaborations, she mentioned about 'Mausum,' which the actress feels was a tough one. 'I had to play the mother and daughter as separate characters. The daughter, Kajri, was a prostitute. I had to speak like Kajri,' she said before adding, 'Cuss words were not challenging. They were new to me. I had to do a lot of preparation. This was not one of those walk-in-walk-out performances. ' She also revealed, 'For a long time, I considered 'Mausam' to be my favourite film with Gulzar Saab. But lately, I have begun to like 'Namkeen' more.' Explaining her reason, she said, 'There is something so endearing and warm about the film. Working with Waheedaji, Shabana, and Kiran Vairale, and of course, the ever-dependable Haribhai(Sanjeev Kumar). Of course, you do know that I was a last-minute replacement for Rekha?' She added, ''We shot Namkeen in Film City. It was almost like an outdoor location. My bonding with the actors was like nothing I had experienced before. Kiran Vairale and I were both fond of doing crossword puzzles. After shooting every evening, we would be huddled together over crosswords.' 'The more I think about it, the more I feel Namkeen is the best Hindi film I've done,' she concluded.
