Biography

Born in 1970, Tabu is an Indian actress whose work has been concentrated largely in Hindi cinema, with credits also in several other Indian film industries and one American production. Her honors include two National Film Awards for Best Actress and a record four Filmfare Critics Awards for Best Female Performer. Her reputation rests chiefly on artistic, modestly budgeted films that earned more critical respect than large box-office returns. In the few commercial hits she joined, her roles were often small, among them Border (1997), Saajan Chale Sasural (1996), and Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999). Notable performances include Astitva (2000), Maqbool (2003), Chandni Bar (2001), and Maachis (1996). Mira Nair's American film The Namesake (2006) gave her a leading role and major praise. She is regarded as one of her generation's most talented Indian actresses and is selective about roles. In 2011 the Government of India awarded her the Padma Shri for her contributions to the arts.
