Honor for Tabu

The Hollywood magazine "Premiere" has centre spread Tabu in its March issue for her wonderful performance in 'Namesake'. The magazine considers her to be the most valuable gem of Bollywood. However, Tabu has a different perception. She says that she is too lazy a person to do make-up; after all no one can really escape truism for long. Similarly, she holds her own view of art films. She claims that these movies can do good business for filmmakers, besides being hat ke in content. As is well known, she started off as a child artist in a film along with Zeenat Aman and Raj Babbar. The actress now feels lucky to have received umpteen opportunities to showcase her talent as a skilled actress. That's why world famous painter M.F. Husain became fida ( crazy ) for her.
