My long hiatus was due to my selectiveness: Tabu

Bollywood actress Tabu, who is back after a long hiatus with `Toh Baat Pakki`, insists that her absence from the silver screen was due to her selectiveness.

Chandigarh: Bollywood actress Tabu, who is back after a long hiatus with `Toh Baat Pakki`, insists that her absence from the silver screen was due to her selectiveness."I have always been selective about my films. I am not interested in something that doesn`t excite me," said Tabu, who was in the city yesterday to promote her upcoming film `Toh Baat Pakki`.
Tabu, who was last seen with megastar Amitabh Bachchan in `Cheeni Kum` in 2007, said that the film which she takes up should be exciting enough for her, be it the character, story line or the plot. "The long period of absence (from the silver screen) was an extension of my selectiveness. I was waiting for something exciting to happen...characters that inspire and make me sit up," she said. The National Award-winning actress said that happiness and peace matter the most in her life. "I only do things that make me happy. There are no compromises to this self-set rule," she said. On her upcoming film which is due for release on Friday, Tabu said that she plays the role of a protective elder sister, who is out to find a suitable match for her sister. Talking about her co-star in the film Sharman Joshi who tasted success in Aamir Khan starrer `3Idiots`, Tabu said, "I think highly of him as an actor". The actress also said that she would like to films `Maachis` in the future. "I loved the movie, it was close to my heart. Definitely, I would love to do something like that again," she said. PTI
