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...
In the realm of Indian cinema, few actresses have maintained an air of mystery around their personal lives while delivering consistently powerful performances. This enigmatic star, known for her versatility and depth, has often been the subject of public curiosity regarding her relationships. Despite being linked with several prominent figures, she has chosen to keep her personal affairs private, focusing instead on her illustrious career. Who is this actress? 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.

Last Updated: Ali Fazal returns to the big screen with Thug Life and Metro… In Dino, calling it a 'homecoming.' He opens up about working with Mani Ratnam and Anurag Basu. After winning over audiences on the digital front with his powerhouse performances in Mirzapur, Khufiya, and the Hollywood action-thriller Kandahar, actor Ali Fazal is all set to make a triumphant return to the silver screen. The acclaimed star will next be seen in two hotly anticipated films: Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan, and Metro… In Dino, helmed by Anurag Basu and slated to release next month. Reflecting on his return to theatres, Ali shares, 'Coming back to the big screen feels like coming home in so many ways. The last few years on OTT have been incredibly rewarding—I've been fortunate to explore a range of characters in Mirzapur and Khufiya. But there's a unique magic to the cinema hall, the collective experience of watching a story unfold with a room full of people—it's a feeling that nothing else can quite replicate." The actor, known for balancing nuanced performances with mainstream appeal, is especially thrilled about the two films that mark his cinematic re-entry. 'Thug Life with Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan is a dream come true," he says. 'Working with Mani Sir is nothing short of legendary, and sharing screen space with Kamal Sir is an honour I could never have imagined when I started out. I couldn't have asked for a better welcome back into the film world." Ali also spoke fondly about Metro… In Dino, calling it 'close to my heart." He adds, 'Anurag Basu's storytelling has always inspired me, and this film is such a beautiful tapestry of human emotions—being part of that is a privilege." Having carved out a distinctive space in the streaming era, Ali views this transition as a continuation rather than a return. 'I feel like I've grown so much as an actor in the OTT space, taking on roles that challenged me in unexpected ways. Now, as I step back into theatres, I'm bringing all those learnings and experiences with me." With both Thug Life and Metro… In Dino promising to blend scale with soul, Ali Fazal's return to the big screen is undoubtedly one of the most awaited film moments of the year. First Published:

Remember the girl who played Kareena Kapoor's sister in Jab We Met? She is a star now, often compared to Aishwarya Rai, her name is... You might know actress Wamiqa Gabbi for her standout roles in OTT shows like Jubilee, Modern Love and Khufiya. She tasted success in Punjabi films with her performances in Tu Mera 22 Main Tera 22, Ishq Brandy, Nikka Zaildar 2, Parahuna, and many more. She also ventured into South Cinema and starred in films like Bhale Manchi Roju, Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam, Godha, and Nine. However, did you know, before making her mark in the industry with her hit performances, she made her acting debut in Imtiaz Ali's blockbuster release Jab We Met (2013) ? Yes you read that right! Wamiqa was just 13 when she played Kareena Kapoor's cousin in the film. Towards the end when Aditya (Shahid Kapoor) brings Geet home and her whole family assumes that they're together, Wamiqa's character humorously teases Shahid, calling him 'Jija ji'. She had other few lines in the scenes as well, like 'Control rakho jijaji (Control yourself brother-in-law),' and 'Aaye haaye kya smile hai (What a smile!).' When Jab We Met re-released in theatres in 2023, Wamiqa spoke to Indian Express and shared her experience of working on the film with stars like Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor. She also recalled when Imtiaz Ali complemented her work. 'One of the best compliments I got was from Imtiaz Ali. I was in Class 8 when I worked with him in Jab We Met. I played the youngest sister-in-law to Shahid Kapoor's Aditya in the film and Imtiaz sir still calls me 'choti waali' (Youngest one). He came to the screening of Jubilee and I was very anxious. After the screening he messaged me and it read, 'You were tremendously good choti waali.' That meant a lot.' Wamiqa said. Since Jab We Met, Wamiqa has come a long way. Well, The Baby John actress is not just hailed for her acting chops, but is also admired for her beauty. She is often compared to actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, particularly due to their sharp facial features and expressive eyes. Meanwhile, on the work front, Wamiqa was most recently seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf, opposite Rajkummar Rao and Seema Pahwa.
