Welcome
back to your coffee fix for the week. This
Sunday meet one of the finest actors this
generation has seen… she is all heart and
her performances are all soul… she began
her career in mainstream cinema and then
made a wonderful name for herself in alternative
cinema… the very talented Tabu. Karan's
second guest is an Indian whom we are all
proud of, the international celebrated filmmaker
and the big name behind Namesake …
Mira Nair. Also joining them is the renowned
choreographer and the director of a super-hit
Bollywood film... Farah Khan.
 |
Tabu who was rather apprehensive to come
on Karan's show admits, "You make
us commit a lot of things which I don't
want to." She talks about her journey
in the film industry since 18 years, some
of the regrets in her personal life and
also confesses on the show that she has
a low self-esteem. In spite of being a part
of the internationally acclaimed film Namesake,
Tabu shares that it's very clear in her
head that she has no Hollywood aspiration.
She also speaks about the special relationship
she shares with Nagarjuna and the fact that
nothing can ever change or alter the relation
with him. Mira feels that the success of
her film Namesake is largely due
to her wonderful cast, she shares some of
the beautiful moments while making the film
and what's her take on being put in the
same bracket as Gurinder Chadha and Deepa
Mehta.
And just when the masala packed rapid fire
is about to commence, the controversial
rapid-fire queen of last season, Farah Khan
makes an entry. According to Tabu, which
actor needs to hit the gym? If Mira was
mistaken for Deepa Mehta what would she
say? Saroj Khan, Ganesh Hegde or Shiamak
Davar, who according to Farah is the best
choreographer? Mira Nair's next or Farah
Khan next, what does Tabu chose? Wait and
watch!
Excerpts from
the interview :
Karan:
You have been in this industry for how
long Tabu?
Tabu :
18 or 19 years
Karan:
Any regrets ?
Tabu :
Lots .. but it will really take a while
if I start discussing it ..
Karan: Professionally
or personally
Tabu :
Ahh ...personally more I think .. but,
actually having said that I wouldn't look
at them as regrets .. and more as a learning
experience .. but, I wish I hadn't met a
few people I had met .. which I would not
want to name ...
Karan:
Do you sometimes feel that you are such
a great actor and you have done some amazing
work ..and in fact I keep telling you this
that critics awards should be globally called
the Tabu awards, because you keep winning
them ..year after year .. do you feel you
have got your due from the industry?
Tabu :
Yes I have
Karan: You
don't feel that they have undervalued you?
Tabu :
No.. I don't think so at all ..After Prem
I thought I should just go back and study
..But I didn't.. I stayed on and it kept
getting better for me .. for me everything
is like a bonus ..
Karan: I
think you are just undervaluing yourself
.. is it a case of low self esteem or just
modesty ..
Tabu :
Terrible low self esteem
Karan: But
why .. have you seen your own performances
Tabu :
I prefer not to
Karan:
You have made such a beautiful film ..
Mira: Firstly
.. Jhumpa ..the mother of the film .. the
mother of the book and then this extra ordinary
cast .. from Irfan and Tabu ...
Karan: Do
you some times feel that, you know .. you
make these international films .. but you
are not doing anything for India? Do you
ever feel the need to come back and do a
full Hindi picture ?
Mira:You
know, my theory is .. I don't do anything
that any one else does better than me ..laughs
.. and you do it better than me .. So, I
mean I am not here to imitate..
