Was too tall for Khans.

When she started, Khans were not big, so she mostly worked with 80s stars, aged herself on screen like Sonakshi did.

When Khans became big, her career as a commercial heroine was over, she had started doing art films.

Said did though in Jawani janeman.

Less of Tabu never acted opposite three Khan's, more like Khan never approached her opposite them. Don't know if anyone even thought of casting them.

Aamir Tabu won't look good together, Nor Salman Tabu..SRK-Tabu would look marvellous together, hope they work.

Because Tabu inn log ko khaa jaati on screen. She is a terrific actor, much better than the Khans. And she has reinvented herself every time.

The fact that she's still getting offbeat films like Andhadhun and commercial films like Jawaani Jaaneman and De De Pyaar De speaks about her carisma, acting and screen presence. She's brilliant truly.

And I am glad to see that she is not tied down with any Khan as a jodi etc...the actresses who are need them Khans for a successful film.

She worked with Ajay on lot of movies. They are best buddies. She also worked with Akshay. They also debuted in the 90’s like the Khans.. In fact, Salman and Aamir debuted in the late 80’s. I don’t think height matters much. DP, Kat, Anushka and Shilpa are really tall but they all worked with the Khans. She didn’t age like Sonakshi. She looks fine and I find her very beautiful. She doesn’t look like 50 at all. She looks lot younger than 50.

When she started she only worked with older stars and the ones with whom she won't look odd hence Akshay Ajay. Besides Ajay was her college friend. Khans were not that big that she would be dying to work with those short guys. Later they became big, she lost her commercial film appeal.

Tabu is taller than DP, Kat, Anushka... she is almost 5'10". It is more about timing than the height difference. Kartik Aryan is a chota star now.. so Alia is not dying to work with him... agar compatible hote yeh dono toh koi na koi cast kar hi lete. When Kartik would become big Alia would become a hasbeen, Kartik won't like to work with her.

Maybe she rejected them like Vidya Balan.


The only thing I heard she’s rejecting is slim fast 😂

She's too tall and too talented. They can't have her overshadowing them

She was not a commercial heroine. She also looked mature from the beginning of her career.

Nobody can beat her in crying scene. She is best at it. She is supremely talented actress and nobody can come close to her in acting. She is too good for the Khans.

In an interview Tabu did say that Khans were shorter than her so the filmmakers never cast her opposite them.Tabu is even taller than Ajay.Sanjay,Akki,Sunil were probably the only actors who were taller than her.
