	Actors - Tabu

Tabu was born in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh as Tabassum Hashmi on November 4, 1972.

Film Career

Largely considered one of the Indian film industry's best actresses working today, Tabu "Tabassum Hashmi" has won the coveted National Film Award for Best Actress two times - once for Maachis
(1996) and most recently for Chandni Bar
(2001). She has also won three statuettes in the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance category for Virasat (1997), Hu Tu Tu
(1999), and Astitva (2000) respectively and in 1995 she was awarded with the Filmfare Best Debut Award

Despite a few exceptions, Tabu is known best for her willingness to play characters in artistic, low-budget films that go on to garner more critical appreciation than they do substantial box office figures (such as in Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities
or Maqbool
).

She has acted in a number of Telugu movies, many of them very successful, such as Coolie No. 1, Ninne Pelladatha etc.

She is the niece of Shabana Azmi and the younger sister of actress Farha.

In 2006 she will be seen alongside Kajol and Aamir Khan in Kunal Kohli's newest film, Fanaah.
