THIS actor once allegedly tried to kiss an actress when she was just 16, she was saved by.., the actor was…

In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it’s often the dazzling and glamorous lives of celebrities that come into the spotlight. However, sometimes the spotlight hides more than it reveals. What happens behind the scenes in Bollywood is often swept under the carpet and is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such shocking tale is of an actor who tried kissing a then-teenage actress under the influence of alcohol.

The people in question are none other than Jackie Shroff and Tabu.

A celebration that turned into a controversy

Back in 1987, a success party was held in Mauritius to celebrate the successful run of Diljala. As per the reports, Jackie Shroff, who was said to be under the influence of Alcohol, made several attempts to kiss Tabu. Tabu was barely sixteen at that time, and she was accompanying her sister (an established actress), Farah Naaz, to this celebration.

Tabu resisted his advances, but this episode didn’t end until veteran actor Danny Denzongpa reportedly stepped in and physically separated Shroff from the teenager. Later, Tabn’s sister, Farah Naaz, who was furious and outraged, went to express her anger and even voiced it in an interview. However, later she softened her stance and labelled this incident as a “misunderstanding”. On the other hand, Tabu never came out to speak about this incident.

The aftermath

While what really happened that night remains a mystery. Tabu and Jackie never shared the screen, and many people from the industry believe that this decision could be the aftermath of the horrific incident that happened in 1987. While neither of the actors has publicly addressed this matter, this incident has left a mark on the hearts of fans.

Despite facing this controversy at such a young age, Tabu went on to carve her niche and create her legacy. Tabu is considered one of the finest actresses in today’s time. Some of her successful films are Bazaar (1982) and Hum Naujawan (1985), Maachis (1996), Chandni Bar (2001), Maqbool (2003), and Haider (2014).
