‘Be completely disengaged from the outcome’: Tabu
"I have allowed myself to experience all these characters and their darkness, their craziness, their love, their passion their anger and whatever they wanted to speak," Tabu says of her roles in 'Haider' and 'Maqbool'
"Submission to the creative process has been the most gratifying part of my life." (Photo: Tabu/Instagram) Credited for playing some of the most emotionally challenging roles, actress Tabu never imagined she’d be an actress, “For a long time, I thought I’d do better as a professional, a doctor, or an astronaut, or a research analyst because I thought I’d have more to give to society.”
She added that people think that being an actress is not a “real job”, but looking back, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
In her TEDx talk, she said that all her characters have allowed her to be reborn and she now has more clarity on what her purpose is in the world. She said her characters in movies such as Haider and Maqbool deconstructed her inner persona. “You forget about everything that you knew existed, it could break the morality of the previous character or how you deal with society.”
