Tabu turns 41

Tabu aka Tabassum Hashmi belongs to that rare breed of actors who make their presence felt in commercial as well as art house movies. She is at home in roles as divergent from each other as 'Chandni Bar' and 'Cheeni Kum'.

The "Ruk ruk ruk..." girl of 'Vijaypath' (1994) has evolved into a top notch performer over the years, and is one of the very few actresses to make it big in both Bollywood and south Indian films.
