Tabu’s career in the industry spans several decades, with acting credits including other Western productions such as Life of Pi and A Suitable Boy.
But despite everything she’s achieved, the actor says she’s keen to not look backwards.
“Because I feel like I’ve stuttered [if I do].
“[Sometimes I feel like] I’m still new and I’m still learning so much.
“The one thing that I feel extremely grateful and overwhelmed by is I got a tremendous amount of love and respect from people or from my audiences.”
And she says she remains motivated by the types of roles she plays, like Francesca.
“That I should be able to experience this character in a completely new way.
“That I should be able to present this character in a completely new way [for the audience].
“Cinema is over 100 years old, they’ve been seeing stuff happening, actors and characters.”
