Tabu’s Surname Secret: Why The Actress Never Used Her Father’s Name (Photo Credit: Instagram) Many Bollywood actors proudly carry their family names as part of their screen identity, especially when they come from a film background. These names often become part of their brand and legacy. However, Tabu chose a different path. Despite coming from a film-connected background, she never used her father’s surname in her professional life. Tabu’s decision was not driven by image or industry pressure but by her personal life experiences. Her childhood, family structure, and emotional distance from her father played a major role in shaping this choice. Instead of leaning on a surname or lineage, Tabu built her identity purely on her talent. From powerful performances to careful role choices, she carved her own space in the industry—one that never depended on family labels. Why Tabu Never Used Her Father’s Surname Tabu comes from a notable film family; her mother, Rizwana, is the sister...

The Kerala Story 2 Teaser Review: Stories Might Haunt You But The Title Is Confusing! (Photo Credit: YouTube) The makers of the 2023 blockbuster are back, and this time they’ve brought a bigger number, a broader map, and a title that makes absolutely zero sense given the context of the teaser. The Kerala Story 2 teaser has dropped. It should be given full marks for the shock value it is creating, feasting on the brand value it has created. The teaser starts with a chilling claim: “Bharat ki 8.5 crore unmarried Hindu ladkiyan ab uska target hai”. We see the harrowing and bruised faces of three young women, telling their horrific tale in an aesthetic that the film mastered in the first part. But here is the catch. If The Kerala Story 2 is shifting its lens to the pan-India target of 8.5 crore ‘Hindu’ girls, why is it still called The Kerala Story ? I am still not finding a logic to this, or I’m probably missing the whole point! Trending Shabad Trailer Review: Mihir Ahuja Exte...
