Meet actress who was in love with actor from a famous family, her engagement with famous producer was broken, she is still single, name is...
Here we are talking about one of the finest actresses in Indian Cinema, Tabu, born as Tabassum Fatima Hashmi. Her journey in the film industry has been marked by critically acclaimed roles and a deliberate choice to remain single. Tabu's first known relationship was with actor Sanjay Kapoor during the filming of their debut movie, 'Prem,' helmed by renowned actor-director Late Satish Kaushik.
Although their romance was short-lived, it garnered significant media attention. Subsequently, she was linked to director-producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Their relationship reportedly blossomed during the making of the film 'Sunny Deol- Salman Khan starrer Jeet.' However, Sajid's lingering feelings for his late wife, Divya Bharti, created a barrier to commitment, leading to their eventual separation. Was Tabu in relationship with Nagarjuna?
Perhaps the most talked-about chapter in Tabu's personal life was her decade-long relationship with South Indian superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni. Despite Nagarjuna being married, their bond was strong and enduring. Tabu reportedly hoped for a future together, but realizing that Nagarjuna would not leave his wife, she chose to end the relationship. This decision, though painful, highlighted her strength and self-respect. Interestingly, Nagarjuna has referred to Tabu as a 'fantastic friend,' indicating the depth of their past connection. More about Tabu
On the professional front, Tabu continues to captivate audiences with her performances. In 2023, she starred in the spy thriller 'Khufiya,' directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, portraying a Research and Analysis Wing operative. The film received positive reviews, with critics praising Tabu's nuanced performance. In 2024, she appeared in the female-led heist comedy 'Crew,' alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon.
The film was a commercial success, and Tabu's portrayal of a seasoned flight attendant was lauded for its depth and humor. Looking ahead, Tabu is set to play a formidable antagonist in Telugu director Puri Jagannadh's upcoming film, sharing the screen with Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi. Filming has commenced, with scenes being shot in Chennai and Hyderabad.

Government blocks 25 OTT platforms for obscenity
This is a representational AI image (Pic credit: Lexica) NEW DELHI: In a sweeping crackdown on digital obscenity, the ministry of information and broadcasting has directed internet service providers to block public access to 25 OTT platforms, including Ullu, ALTT and Desiflix, for hosting sexually explicit, obscene, and, in some cases, pornographic content. The directive, issued on July 23, also covers 26 websites and 14 mobile applications associated with these platforms. The action follows repeated warnings to these platforms and comes after consultations with the ministries of home affairs, electronics and IT, the department of legal affairs, industry bodies like FICCI and CII, and experts on women and child rights. Sources said the decision was triggered by growing public grievances and the platforms' persistent violation of IT Rules, 2021, and Indian obscenity laws. Platforms like Ullu and ALTT had been flagged by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) in 2024 for content containing sexual innuendo and nudity with little or no narrative context. Ullu had to remove its series House Arrest in May 2025 after govt intervention. A similar crackdown took place in 2024 when 18 OTT platforms, such as Dreams Films, Rabbit, Hunters, and Prime Play, were blocked. In many cases, government officials said, the content violated sections 67 and 67A of the IT Act, Section 292 of IPC, and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo Former Central Information Commissioner Uday Mahurkar, who heads the 'Save Culture Save Bharat Foundation', lauded the govt for banning the applications and websites, calling it a "digital surgical strike".
