TMM Magazine - March 2021

In this issue

Dear Readers,

It’s a powerful month, as we celebrate the most beautiful creation of God-Woman! And to make it even more beautiful, we have got timeless beauty Tabu who is all unfiltered in this issue and is surely full of energy and talent that Indian cinema is blessed with. I personally feel that the idea of celebrating women’s day is quite positive, as it brings in all the attention to the building block of society, who is often neglected in the structural drama of the world we live in. It’s all about the change we wish for and a small step of change can surely add meaning to life. We at TMM salute women across the world for who they are and what they do.

Happy Reading!

A CHANGE OF AIR ECOWARE

Meet Rhea Mazumdar Singhal, Founder & CEO, Ecoware, a one-stop solution for eco-friendly products that are 100 percent natural, biodegradable, and easily affordable.

For Rhea, a recipient of Nari Shakti Puraskar, the highest civilian honour for women, the idea was to disrupt the commoditized packaging industry by creating a natural and healthy alternative to single-use plastics.

Unfiltered Tabu

Tabu loves a good conversation, and more than that, she loves a good laugh. The actress, who is counted among one of the finest in the country, admits that people have been often been pleasantly surprised by her sense of humour. But she rues the fact that these days, she has to censor herself when she talks, lest people take it in the wrong way. “We have become so unnatural in our self-expression. I like doing interviews where something fun comes up. Now, if that’s going to be misconstrued and highlighted, how does one talk?” she questions. A great sense of humour apart, the other things our March cover girl has in abundance are spontaneity and oodles of talent. It is difficult to pick her best performance – there are so many to choose from! From Maachis to Maqbool, Virasat to Haider, and Astitva to Andhadhun, this powerhouse performer has only gone from strength to strength. Last year, she made her digital debut with A Suitable Boy, playing the beautiful courtesan Saeeda Bai. The National Award-winning actress sat down with TMM for a quick chat about her work and the projects she would love to be a part of. Was there a lot of fun banter? Oh yes, but we decided to censor some of it!
