Tabu fine with labels people ascribe her with

"People will put a tag that is convenient to put on you rather than what you are. I am happy being who I am," she said.

Tabu says it is a "myth" that filmmakers feel she will not accept a role that is anything less than the best one. "They think that if they come to me with less than the best role in the film, she will not do it, whether it's comedy or whatever. They feel, 'give her the best role in the film or she will refuse it'.
"So that's the myth they have about me," the Chandni Bar actress said in Kolkata when asked about the roles that pass her by possibly because certain filmmakers feel she prefers intellectual characters.
The National Award winner said she was okay with the labels people ascribe her with. "People will put a tag that is convenient to put on you rather than what you are. I am happy being who I am," she said at the Kolkata Literary Meet.
When asked why she was not being seen in light-hearted films of late, she replied: "Not many light-hearted films are made. Not that I am not doing it. I don't know if a lot of female actors get comic parts."
Tabu, who will be seen in Fitoor next, admitted she craves comedies. "I would love to do more... Biwi No.2...3... and more Hera Pheri," the 41-year-old said. She also raved about Govinda, her co-star in Saajan Chale Sasural. "It is a pleasure to watch him take a less than ordinary scene and magically make something fantastically entertaining to watch. He has that rare quality," she said.
