One of the most power-packed actresses of Bollywood, Tabu, hasn’t really got the due she deserves in mainstream cinema.

But there’s no denying the fact that she has aced every role that’s come her way. After all, she is a brilliant actress who can weep buckets while simultaneously making you smile. On her 43rd birthday today, we drum up a list of seven roles that she should give it a go…read on:

A raunchy sex comedy:
By virtue of being a fabulous actress, she can nail this role with just her gestures and body language. Her comic timing is great too (remember Biwi No 1?). So it won’t be hard for her to pull off this role. Being a true Scorpio, sexual innuendo-laced jokes should come easy to her… *wink*

Item song appearance:
We know that it’s not a role and probably the feisty actress would never do an item song, but it would be such a thrill to revisit her Chandni Bar days, eh? Considering it’s the great Tabu, the item song could act as an interesting back story in the movie. What say, fans?

Action flick:
With her long legs, statuesque posture and strong dialogue delivery abilities, she can kick a mean ass for sure.

Cougar lady:
She is sexy and she knows it. So why not utilize it in this role? Won’t she make for a sassy predator, preying on younger men? We just can’t wait to see her in this role.

Sexy teacher:
She could very well ace this role with her effortless charm and luminous smile. She should play a math teacher so that a generation of math-haters can start falling in love with the subject.

Biopic:
She can play strong, independent women who have ruled Bollywood, politics as well princely states. We know she would come out on tops in any role, but in biopics, she would be especially great.

Negative role:
Even though the actress essayed a killer in Tamil movie Snegethiya, she has yet to play a vicious vamp in Hindi. And before you ask, no, there’s no doubt about the actress’ ability to play a negative role.

Which role according to you would suit Tabu? Let us know in the comment box below.
