Tabu
is known as one of the finest actors of her generation, who is still ruling the roost at 52! However, as luck would have it, the Astitva actress has shared screen space with
Shah Rukh
Khan only once, in Shaad Ali’s Saathiya, (apart from a song in Om Shanti Om, and a split second in Main Hoon Na) and that too in a cameo appearance, that fans otherwise loved! Recently, the
Crew
actress discussed why she and Shah Rukh Khan haven’t collaborated since “Saathiya”.
In a recent interview, when asked about their reunion, Tabu pointed out she isn’t involved in filmmaking decisions like choosing scripts or casting. She mentioned not having control over which films Shah Rukh should or shouldn’t do.
Tabu revealed that while there have been offers to work together again, circumstances haven’t aligned favorably.
Speaking to Galatta India, Tabu said, “I am not a producer, director, or scriptwriter, so I don’t decide who Shah Rukh Khan collaborates with. I can only choose from the offers I receive.” She acknowledged that while there were opportunities where their paths could have crossed, things didn’t materialize. She also expressed appreciation for the audience’s desire to see them together again.

On the workfront, Tabu is gearing up for the release of her film ‘Auron Mein Kya Dum Tha’ and she teams up with Ajay Devgn yet again. The duo have done around 9-10 films together and their chemistry is loved by fans. When Etimes had a rendezvous with Tabu, she was asked about how she creates his chemistry on-screen, not just with Ajay but with most of her co-stars.
Be it Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Cheeni Kum’, or with Irrfan Khan in ‘The Namesake’, and ‘Maqbool’ to Anil Kapoor in ‘
Virasat
‘ and now
Kapil Sharma
in ‘Crew’, how does Tabu do it? She laughs and says, “Kapil and I are the new ‘it’ couple.” We can’t help but agree because Kapil and Tabu created such great chemistry on-screen in the film.
Further giving it a thought, Tabu elaborates, “Of course it’s a creation but when you’re doing it, you are not engineering something. I’ve not consciously engineered anything but I feel when you’re with that particular person, you will bring across what you have with that particular person and camera will capture it.”
The actress agreed that she’s had that equation on-screen with most of her co-stars but many factors contribute to it. “Sometimes two people just look good together, sometimes two people are so in sync with each other. Sometimes as actors you have great timing with each other. Sometimes you look at each other in a way that’s special. Also, given in context the film you’re doing.”
