In a candid conversation with Harper’s Bazaar India, actress Tabu discussed the pervasive issue of ageism in the film industry. She pointed out that society often places more emphasis on a woman's age than the women themselves do, stating, “People are more worried about your age than you are yourself.” Tabu elaborated on the gradual nature of aging, explaining that it unfolds daily rather than occurring suddenly. She also shared her frustrations with industry norms that discourage direct communication, revealing that she prefers to be straightforward when declining film offers instead of using polite excuses like scheduling conflicts. As she continues to enjoy the success of her recent film, Bhooth Bangla, Tabu is set to appear in King100, marking Nagarjuna Akkineni's 100th film.
