Tabu says she changed a lot after working with Irrfan Khan

Bollywood actor Tabu, who delivered two of her career-defining performances in Maqbool and The Namesake, opposite late actor Irrfan Khan believes she ‘changed a lot’ after working with the actor. She said it was Irrfan who taught her to be true to her characters and to herself. In a new interview, the actress said that what she shared with Irrfan on-screen, she can’t share with anyone else. “I can’t even start to say what he meant to me, but I can say what I shared with Irrfan on-screen, I don’t know if I can and if I have shared that with anybody and that’s for everyone to see,” she said.

Talking about the late actor, she told Film Companion, “He affected me a lot and I changed a lot after working with him. It’s like those people who come into your life and redefine it and make you see things differently. I learnt to be completely true to my characters and myself and bring that to my work.”
