Tabu happy to be called sensuous

Tabu’s fans find her sensuous despite the actress sometimes playing non-glamorous as in “The Namesake”. The two-time national award winner is happy with the tag.

On being asked about the “sensuous” tag given to her by fans, Tabu said: “I am happy being called one.”

Unlike her colleagues, who undergo gruelling workout sessions and follow strict diet plans to stay fit, Tabu doesn’t do any such thing.

“I don’t believe in dieting and gymming,” the 39-year-old told. She, however, refused to reveal her fitness mantra, insisting: “It’s a secret.”

After a three-year career hiatus, Tabu returns to the big screen with the comedy “Toh Baat Pakki” that released Friday.

Last seen in the unconventional love story “Cheeni Kum” (2007) with superstar Amitabh Bachchan, in “Toh Baat Pakki”, she has teamed up with a younger lot Sharman Joshi, Vatsal Seth and Yuvika Chaudhary.

“It was great fun working with Sharman, Vatsal and Yuvika. Moreover, since it is a fun film, the whole atmosphere on the sets made the shooting enjoyable,” she said.

“Toh Baat Pakki” is about a middle class woman Rajeshwari (Tabu), who is obsessed with getting her younger sister Nisha (Yuvika) married to a well-settled boy. How the choice of groom oscillates from Rahul (Sharman) to Yuvraaj (Vatsal) and vice versa forms the story.
