When Tabu spoke about her life
Tabu, who never got married, had opened up about people’s interest in her life, “Honestly, it’s not that it has stopped bothering me; the fact remains that I’ve never been perturbed [by this] at all. I don’t see what the big deal is, being single or being not single. For me, it’s not a [yardstick for] assessing somebody. I mean, I don’t assess someone according to their marital status or whether they have children or not. And if people do it for me, I don’t know about it and don’t want to go there."
When Tabu wasn't interested to talk about her marriage
When she was asked about her marriage, Tabu had said, “Why do you want to get into that? Psychological analysis kyun karna chahte ho mera? Boring hai yeh question. Kuch aur pooch (Why do you want to do my psychological analysis? This is a boring question. Ask me something else).”
About Tabu's relationships
Tabu and Telugu actor Nagarjuna reportedly dated in the 90s. They have always remained tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship. They worked together in two Telugu films--Ninne Pelladatha and Aavida Maa Aavide.
In an interview with Times of India in 2017, Nagarjuna had spoken about the relationship he shares with Tabu. “Yes, Tabu is a fantastic friend of mine. Our friendship goes way back, since I was 21 or 22 and she was just 16 years old. That’s like almost half a lifetime… About our friendship, whatever is said is less. I have nothing to hide about her. When you mention her name, my face lights up… (laughs). It is as simple as that. Now, when I say things like that, if you want to read into it, then it’s your point of view."
