`Why So Serious, Tabu?`

Tabu talks about her equation with Irrfan her movie 'Life Of Pi' and never being media-shy

The AC is just too high and Tabu is shivering. And while she's at it, she manages to quip that cold climate makes her say stuff she doesn't want to.

Thus she breaks that 'serious image' we've created of her for thus long now. The acclaimed actress is self-confessedly choosy about films and that shows on her filmography. Quite a normal in crossover movies, she is going to be seen next in Ang Lee's upcoming 3D film. In a tête-a-tête with CS, the tall actress talks about her equation with Irrfan and never being media-shy:

No single factor When you take a look at the general result, you wish to just feel delighted to join the project. That is what I BELIEVE like. I DO NOT care how big or small my role is. It isn't necessary that each one the stories you do should centre around you.

That way, I'll never be capable of do a movie! I do movies on impulse. There is no one factor that makes me need to say yes or no to a script. Essentially the most basic of all can be to have a fascinating story where my character has a robust part to play.

Serious? Who me?It's funny that i am often assumed to be a non-funny person. Maybe the perception has something to do with the type of films I'VE done. Anyway, acting is something and what you're off the camera is another. I LIKE to crack jokes and laugh like anybody else.

Media techniques I'm not media-shy as such but on the same time, I wish to keep to myself and seem only when my work expects me to that is. the explanation you do not see much of me otherwise. Besides, what is the point in blurring that line that divides personal from public life?

On contemporary actressesI think they all have excelled of their own way because they carry something unique to the screen. That's when fan following begins and those wish to see you more. Or else, they will not be working within the first place. It is a very demanding industry. And in any case, the audience must be spoilt for choices!

Dream roles I always desired to work with Ang Lee, especially after watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I'd find irresistible to do a movie like that where you're flying and doing stuff that you only do in dreams. Except being an excellent director, Ang is an excellent human being.

Irrfan and that iIrrfan and I share a funny friendship as it is predicated at the jokes we keep cracking on sets. He appreciates my sense of humour and quips that I should marry someone who has a fair sense of humour like I do! He's my guide in world cinema as he's very acutely aware of it.
