MUMBAI: Welcome back to your coffee fix for the week. This Sunday
meet one of the finest actors this generation has seen… she
is all heart and her performances are all soul… she began her
career in mainstream cinema and then made a wonderful name for herself
in alternative cinema… the very talented Tabu.
Karan's second guest is an Indian whom we are all proud of, the
international celebrated filmmaker and the big name behind Namesake
… Mira Nair. Also joining them is the renowned choreographer
and the director of a super-hit Bollywood film... Farah Khan. Don't
miss this exciting tête-à-tête this Sunday, March
18th at 9 p.m. on 'Koffee with Karan' only on Star One and Star
World.
 Tabu
who was rather apprehensive to come on Karan's show admits, "You
make us commit a lot of things which I don't want to." She
talks about her journey in the film industry since 18 years, some
of the regrets in her personal life and also confesses on the show
that she has a low self-esteem. In spite of being a part of the
internationally acclaimed film Namesake, Tabu shares that it's very
clear in her head that she has no Hollywood aspiration. She also
speaks about the special relationship she shares with Nagarjuna
and the fact that nothing can ever change or alter the relation
with him. Mira feels that the success of her film Namesake is largely
due to her wonderful cast, she shares some of the beautiful moments
while making the film and what's her take on being put in the same
bracket as Gurinder Chadha and Deepa Mehta.
And just when the masala packed rapid fire is about to commence,
the controversial rapid-fire queen of last season, Farah Khan makes
an entry. According to Tabu, which actor needs to hit the gym? If
Mira was mistaken for Deepa Mehta what would she say? Saroj Khan,
Ganesh Hegde or Shiamak Davar, who according to Farah is the best
choreographer? Mira Nair's next or Farah Khan next, what does Tabu
chose? Wait and watch!
Excerpts from the interview:
Karan: You have been in this industry for how long Tabu?
Tabu: 18 or 19 years
Karan: Any regrets ?
Tabu: Lots .. but it will really take a while if I start
discussing it ..
Karan: Professionally or personally
Tabu: Ahh ...personally more I think .. but, actually having
said that I wouldn't look at them as regrets .. and more as a learning
experience .. but, I wish I hadn't met a few people I had met ..
which I would not want to name ...
Karan: Do you sometimes feel that you are such a great actor
and you have done some amazing work ..and in fact I keep telling
you this that critics awards should be globally called the Tabu
awards, because you keep winning them ..year after year .. do you
feel you have got your due from the industry?
Tabu: Yes I have
Karan: You don't feel that they have undervalued you?
Tabu: No .. I don't think so at all ..After Prem I thought
I should just go back and study ..But I didn't.. I stayed on and
it kept getting better for me .. for me everything is like a bonus
..
Karan: I think you are just undervaluing yourself .. is
it a case of low self esteem or just modesty ..
Tabu: Terrible low self esteem
Karan: But why .. have you seen your own performances
Tabu: I prefer not to
Karan: You have made such a beautiful film ..
Mira: Firstly .. Jhumpa ..the mother of the film .. the
mother of the book and then this extra ordinary cast .. from Irfan
and Tabu ...
Karan: Do you some times feel that, you know .. you make
these international films .. but you are not doing anything for
India? Do you ever feel the need to come back and do a full Hindi
picture ?
Mira: You know, my theory is .. I don't do anything that
any one else does better than me ..laughs .. and you do it better
than me .. So, I mean I am not here to imitate..
So, join Karan in a stimulating tête-à-tête
with the three super achievers only on Koffee with Karan, this Sunday,
March 18th at 9 p.m. on Star One and Star World
