Tabu Challenging Stereotypes and Embracing Singlehood: Living Life Unapologetically in the Spotlight

Actor Tabu defies societal norms, sharing her views on singlehood and relationships as she prepares for her role in HBO’s highly awaited series Dune Prophecy.

A Vibrant Birthday Celebration

As she celebrates her 53rd birthday, Tabu continues to defy expectations with her unapologetic attitude to life. The well-known Bollywood actress has long captivated people and sparked discussions due to her marriage, relationships, and societal expectations.

Disregarding Social Norms

In an interview with Hindustan Times in 2017, Tabu candidly said “I don’t see what the big deal is, being single or being not single”, expressing her disinterest in social constraints surrounding marital status.

Accepting Authenticity in Personal Choices

In a culture that often scrutinizes personal choices, Tabu’s ideas strike a deep chord. “Honestly, it’s not that it has stopped bothering me; the fact remains that I’ve never been perturbed [by this] at all. I don’t see what the big deal is, being single or being not single. For me, it’s not a [yardstick for] assessing somebody. I mean, I don’t assess someone according to their marital status or whether they have children or not. And if people do it for me, I don’t know about it and don’t want to go there," she asserted, emphasizing that judging someone by their marital or parenting status is pointless. This novel perspective resonates with her dedication to leading an authentic life, undeterred by public opinion.

Tabu on Marriage

Tab didn’t hold back from addressing the obvious when confronted about her relationship status. “Why do you want to get into that? Psychological analysis kyun karna chahte ho mera? Boring hai yeh question. Kuch aur pooch,” (Why do you want to do my psychological analysis? This is a boring question. Ask me something else), she quipped, redirecting the conversation.

Secret of Her Past Love Life

Tabu’s personal life has always been high, particularly about her alleged affair with Telugu actor Nagarjuna in the 90s. Nagarjuna has publicly complimented their connection, calling her a “fantastic friend” and thinking about their decades-long friendship. Their friendship illustrates the depth of their bond, transcending the conventional love tales.

A New Chapter: Dune Prophecy

Tabu is getting ready to play Sister Francesca in the upcoming HBO series Dune Prophecy as she embarks on a new chapter in her career. The series promises to broaden the Dune universe, which is based on Frank Herbert’s acclaimed novel, and Tabu’s involvement adds an intriguing element. Tabu surely will wow spectators with her talent, accompanied by an incredible ensemble that includes Emily Watson and Mark Strong.

Inspiring Independence and Individuality

During her last year's birthday celebrations, Tabu expressed the idea of being single; she said, “Your happiness comes from many things unconnected with the status of your relationship. On your own, you can deal with your aloneness, but with the wrong partner, what could follow would be worse than any kind of loneliness.”

Tabu’s journey truly is a testament for many people to live life with individuality and redefine societal expectations. She still shines brightly in the entertainment world with her daring spirit and commitment to authenticity.
