| Profile of TabuShe's
signed up as an actress who can steam up the screen in commercial cinema without looking
made up or be both convincing and light up alternate cinema with her spectral beauty.
That's the thing with Tabassum Hashmi -- Tabu -- who's all about inner strength and
unconstrained freshness. She's among a few who dare to take risks and go a distance. In Sazaa-e-Kalapani,
she turned up on sets with her hair oiled and convinced the critics it was the only way to
look authentic. Once again for Deepa Mehta's Water she's believed to have shaved
off her hair when a skin switch wouldn't work. Whether an unlikely terrorist in Maachis
or glossy family-type in Hum Saath Saath Hain, she's chosen her roles wisely. The
unquestioned beauty on the circuit - art, commercial, she's your beauty with brains.
