In an interview with Galatta India, Tabu shared, “I am not a producer, nor a director or a scriptwriter. I am really not dictating who Shah Rukh Khan works with and which films are going to be made and which films are going to be offered to me next. I can only say yes or no to what is being offered to me.”
In another statement, she said, “There were films that were offered to us (Shah Rukh Khan and Tabu). I know the films I have refused and I am sure he must have also refused a few films. So, nothing really happened where our paths were crossed.”
Earlier, Tabu was asked to give deets about her cameo in ‘Om Shanti Om’ which was directed by Farah Khan, and released in 2007. It's a romantic drama with elements of comedy and fantasy. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.
In the song ‘Deewangi Deewangi’ Tabu had a small yet impactful cameo as she sizzled in a red saree in slow motion. In an interview with Zoom, when she was shown a still from the song, she said, “Lot of people want to see us together. It was great fun, they made me some great clothes, great hair, and makeup, and we got very expensive gifts from Shah Rukh Khan.”
