others of her age and time already got 😃
Madhuri,Kajol,Aish to name a few 😉⭐️

For your kind information Tabu won National award for best acyress in 90s itself.

She was the most acclaimed actress of 90s and always won critics choice awards. Had successes in masala films like Saajan Chale sasural and also films like Maachis and Viraasat.

She has not gotten success in her 40s "only".

Hasn't your one liner worked a treat. 🤣

It always does, tell me somethin new 😉 Truth hurts like a bitch, don't you know 😆 That's why their long ass justifications/essays while we rock and roll here with a liner or two sipping away Cool Aid at the sound of cleavage brigade going woof, woof, woof. Obsession of our irrestible charm where one can't help but blindly follow us everywhere and patiently wait for our arrival 😆

*Big Bad wolves responsible for others' sleepless nights reporting* 😎

P.S: Man your liner even got a GIF 😡

On topic, I think Shabana Azmi was also doing well in her 40s.

Still Sridevi is the only one who has gotten a successful film as main lead despite being 50.

Truth hurts ?.. Gifs ? ... 😆 .. pretty rich coming from someone who isnt able to stand the taste of her own medicine & has dedicated 100s of pages to obsessing over members here including two fan fictions complete with GIfs and commentary..delusional oxymoron as usual 😆.. now i know how much you love to flatter me with your obsession but certain important things seemed to have slipped from your mind..i wanted to put at least a temporary halt on this toxic love saga for the sake of other people on this forum who might be tired of seeing us going around in circles but it seems my message has got lost in transmission , you continue to throw your affections at me & since i dont want to snub my fans , i continue to reciprocate it ..you keep doing what you are doing & once again its back to square one..

P.S.. i think i accidentally clicked on your profile now , go ahead flatter yourself , gotta keep my fans happy .. 😆

Honestly she's only worked in one movie and that too after a very long time. One success doesn't define her to be the best amongst all actresses in the 40s. Honestly I only liked her in HSSH and now Haider.

She's always been a very critically acclaimed actress and has won awards and accolades even in her younger years. So my next comments are in no way meant to undermine her amazing talent. I think she had the good fortune to be cast in a good role Haider provided her. Good roles for mother figures are far and few in between so sometimes actresses who are past their "running around trees dancing" days are stuck in an unavoidable rut because there is A) no creativity and B) no desire or motivation to write for older characters.

Having said that, I do not know anything about how the casting of Haider came about. Were other 40 plus female artists offered the role? Would a Madhuri or Sridevi have agreed to play mother to Shahid? So Tabu showed a lot of self confidence and security in herself and her talent by accepting this role. Giving credit where credit is due.

Because of one Haider? Don't actors have to be consistently popular to be considered successful? Yes she got many awards before..but when is the last time she gave a good performance or was in a . Good film apart from Haider? Last I checked she was criticized for being in a film like Jai Ho.

Tabu played a mother to a grown man in The Namesake (one of her best) too...in general, I think the woman is unusually secure, almost uncaring, both about a personal matter like age and also about her acting abilities/professional choices. It allows her to get into the role, be convincing, step out...and afterwards with her, to be honest, I don't think people even remember that she played a 'mother'...they remember a character more than the age/relationship. I think the other ladies you mentioned simply wouldn't consider anything like it because they are struggling with issues of age (trying to look in style by hiring stylists or going for botox) and perhaps, just maybe, because once upon a time they used to the leading heroines and divas...so it's difficult or a big deal for them and the audience as well to accept them in a role of a middle-aged or old person. Tabu never had that heroine/superstar quality...so it's almost like people view her as a character actor and she works like one too. A unique case that's hard to compare with others, I think.
