She essayed a role of a young married woman who ends up having a brief fling with her music teacher and decides to keep his child. It was one of her early movies where she accepted a role that would be considered risky for a mainstream actress. My Top 5 Tabu movies would include – Astitva Indeed Tabu relishes doing unconventional roles and we look forward to see something special every time she graces the silver-screen. Over the years her acclaim and appreciation to give nuanced performances made her a popular choice when the heroine’s character had a role that went beyond romancing the hero and running around trees.Įventually she came to a stage that she now appears only in a handful meaningful roles and has managed to avoid the ignominy of being reduced to playing ‘mother-sister’ roles that are the lot of most actress past their prime.

It is tragic that Irrfan passed away this week and we mourn the loss of a talented actor who had the potential to tell us so many moving tales.

His booming voice, the irrepressible urge for histrionics and an abiding passion for raising the issues haunting our lives made Rahat Indori stand out.
