She'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.
