Many heroines from the Indian film Industry have spoken out about the casting couch and it has become a hot topic. Tabu, a former star heroine, is also included in this list. At that time, this beauty rocked both Bollywood and Tollywood with her glamour. It must be said that she is still rocking.
She started her journey in Bollywood as a teen actor in Dev Anand’s Hum Naujawan which was released in 1985. However, the actress, who celebrates her birthday, yesterday debuted as a lead with the 1991 film Coolie No 1. She has played leading lady to all major actors of the generation. If you notice carefully, one leading man that Tabu has never worked opposite is Jackie Shroff. And there is a reason behind it. In the 1980s, Jackie Shroff was accused of molesting the Farah Naaz’s younger sister Tabu during a location shoot in Mauritius.
In 1986, Jackie Shroff was working with Tabu’s elder sister Farah in an action drama Diljalaa that also had Tanuja and Danny Denzongpa in the important roles. During that time, Tabu would often accompany her sister Farah on the film sets. During the shoot, Danny hosted a party for Diljalaa’ actors.
Tabu went to a private party with her sister Farah Naz. Later Farah had alleged that a very drunk Jackie Shroff had tried assaulting Tabu at Danny’s house. Tabu told her family members that it was a black day in her life.
