“Ajay and I have known each other for 25 years. He was a neighbor and close friend of my cousin Sameer Arya. When I was little, Sameer and Ajay watched me closely. We used to beat up every boy we saw talking to me. Both of them were very big jerks. If I am single today, it is only because of Ajay Devgan.
Tabu had said this jokingly in an interview with Mumbai Mirror. Tabu had an affair with 3 people from the film industry. His name was first linked to Sanjay Kapoor. She was then in a relationship with director-producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Both also got engaged. However, their relationship broke down. Then she dated Nagarjuna, but Tabu’s relationship with him also did not materialize.
Tabu, who never wanted to become an actress, has held a prominent position in the film world for 39 years, but also feels lonely in her personal life. Since childhood, she has only remained close to her mother and sister. I haven’t seen my father’s face until this day. Even giving him his father’s name is unacceptable.
Ajay and Tabu have worked together in a total of 10 films.
Story-1- Tabu doesn’t like using her father’s name. She belongs to a Hyderabadi Muslim family. He did not receive his father’s love in his childhood. In fact, her parents divorced when she was three years old. After that, the mother took full responsibility for Tabu and her sister. After separating from her husband, Tabu’s mother worked as a teacher.
In an interview with Simmi Garewal, Tabu had said, “I only have a vague image of my father in my mind. What a father is, what his love is, I don’t know these things. I have no relationship with them. For this reason, I don’t even like using my father’s name, Hashmi, in my name.
Story 2- Tabu didn’t want to do cinema, she never wanted to become an actress. Even though his family knew people from the world of cinema. Veteran actress Shabana Azmi is her aunt.
Regarding this, Tabu had said in Simi Garewal’s interview, “I was not attracted to the world of theater. I focused more on studies. I didn’t even like watching movies, but luck changed in such a way that I developed a relationship with movies. I tried several times to get away from the cinema, but I couldn’t.
Story-3- Dev Anand paved the way in cinema Tabu had entered the world of cinema as a child artist. Dev Anand gave him his first chance in his film. Regarding the film’s hiatus, Tabu had said on Anupam Kher’s show, “When I was a kid, I had gone to a birthday party where my mother’s friend Sushma Aunty was also present. Sushma Aunty was the sister-in-law of Dev Anand Sahab. He saw me at this birthday party. She knew that Dev Saheb was looking for a child artist who could play the role of his daughter in the film.
A few days later, Shabana Aunty (Shabana Azmi) came to my school and told me that there is an offer for a film with Dev Saheb in which you should work. I didn’t know anything about cinema at that time. When Aunt Shabana told me this, I became very nervous. I couldn’t understand anything, but I agreed to this on the insistence of Shabana Aunty.
After that, my screen test was taken for the film and thus I got the role of Dev Saheb’s daughter in Hum Naujawan (1985).
Story-4- Had an affair with 3 people, was engaged to Sajid Nadiadwala. Tabu’s personal life has always been in the news. When she started shooting for the first Hindi film of her career, ‘Prem’, the news of her relationship with Sanjay Kapoor came to light. According to reports, both were in a serious relationship. However, later both chose different paths. In an interview with Times of India, Sanjay had confessed that he was in a relationship with Tabu.
After that, the next person in Tabu’s life was director-producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Tabu and Sajid struck up a relationship while working together in the film ‘Jeet’. Both also got engaged. Although Sajid had a little hesitation in mind. He could not forget his late wife Divya Bharti easily. The effect of this was that his relationship with Tabu ended before it could take a new turn. Sajid had confirmed the news of his engagement and relationship with Tabu in an interview with Laharen Retro.
After this, the new person who came into Tabu’s life was South superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna. According to information from News 18, the two had been in a relationship for 10 years. They also lived together under one roof. Tabu wanted to settle down by marrying the actor. Although Nagarjuna does not want to divorce his wife Amala.
However, Tabu has always denied his affair with Nagarjuna in the public domain. Once Tabu had arrived at the Koffee show with Karan as a guest. Here, Karan questioned the affair between him and Nagarjuna. She was also asked if she went to live in Hyderabad because of Nagarjuna. Regarding this, Tabu had said: This is not true. I also have a house there, I myself come from Hyderabad. Yes, he (Nagarjuna) is one of my close people. My relationship with him is very special.
Nagarjuna also spoke about his ties with Tabu in an interview with The Times of India. He said: Yes, Tabu is my very good friend. Our friendship goes back a long time, when I was 21 or 22 and she was only 16. Everything that is said about our friendship is less so. I have nothing to hide about him.
When you say his name, my face lights up (laughs). For me, he is a beautiful person and a beautiful friend.
Amala, Nagarjuna’s wife, herself mentioned that she and her entire family shared a special bond with Tabu. Whenever Tabu comes to Hyderabad, she only stays at his house.
