Tabu
Are you surprised by the success of AndhaDhun?
It is an amazing thing to happen to any piece of art. These days, people tend to move on from a film in a week of its release, but with AndhaDhun, I am still getting calls and messages. A lot of credit goes to Sriram Raghvan and cinematographer K U Mohanan with the way he shot the film and the entire cast. The beauty of the film is its ending, and the options and possibilities are taking a life of its own. As an actor, it is enriching that the discussion is beyond box-office numbers. This is completely a new phenomenon for me. The film was made on a humble budget and the collections have been excellent, but what is important is that it has been unanimously loved and I haven't seen this happen with many films and that is what we are celebrating.
From Maqbool to Drishyam, most of the films you have been a part of are still being discussed. Do you feel invincible?
No, that would be a very strong and dangerous feeling to settle in. I feel gratified and a sense of pride in the choices I have made. The fact is that I was completely immersed in the process for every film. I just wanted to be the best at whatever I did. I never thought about the results. Having said that I didn't want to play just another heroine, neither did I aspire to play the good girl who is shy and smiles all the time. There are many layers in a woman and I want to explore all of them. So, my approach has always been different. That is why I think people could not understand me or bracket me as an actor. I would often hear people saying, 'Yeh Tabu hai kya, isko chahiye kya?' (laughs). I have always gone with the flow and followed my instincts.
