Birthday Girl Tabu’s 90s Avatar Is Bold and Cheezily Unforgettable
As Tabu turns a year older we rewind to her films from the 90s, that were a whole new level of cheezy epic-ness!

Birthday girl Tabu has made her mark in Bollywood by playing some very strong characters in both parallel cinema, as well as commercial flicks. Her presence in a film usually suggests that the story has some substance. But back in the 90s, even Tabu tried her hand at senseless dance moves, wannabe mini skirts and raunchy choreography. This will make you ROFL big time.
Ruk Ruk Ruk
Ruk ruk ruk from Vijaypath (1994) was a song that defined the peppiness of the 90s. Music director Anu Malik topped the charts with this cheezy winner. Who knew even Tabu can pull a Govinda and carry off (or not) these mean moves?
The Demure Village Girl
Tabu has never really fit into the stereotypically ‘hot’ category of Bollywood heroines. Though at one point, she did seem to have tried. Remember her as the skimpily dressed village girl who falls in love with a pardesi, only to have her heart broken in Prem (1995)?. Aren’t we glad that she didn’t try too hard and just moved on to quality films like Maachis (1996), Maqbool (2004) and Haider (2014), just to name few.
The Sunny Deol of Filmi Dance
Tabu is the Sunny Deol of Bollywood dance moves. But one has to give it to her, she’s experimented with everything from break dance to classical.
Matching Up To Govinda Is Hard Work
The talented intense actress even gave a shot to pulling off Govinda’s dance moves and comic timing. Who can forget her housewife avatar in Saajan Chale Sasural? Seriously, what were you think Tabu?
Mini Skirt Gone Bad
Super short western outfits are not your thing Tabu. We thought you knew that? But who convinced you to get into a neon orange jacket teamed with a mini skirt and sneakers and dance on top o an open bus? Woh bhi pardes mein?
But then again, galtiyaan kisse nahin hoti? It’s all a part of growing up isn’t it? Happy Birthday!
