Bollywood actress Tabu has played a pivotal role not only in shaping Saiee M Manjrekar`s performance in the upcoming film `Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha` but also through the course of her career. Saiee, who plays the younger version of Tabu`s character in the movie, received invaluable guidance from the seasoned actress. Tabu`s mentorship, particularly in reading out dialogues and setting the tone for delivery, significantly influenced Saiee`s portrayal of her character, Vasu.
Saiee feels a deep connection with Tabu, almost as if she has manifested this opportunity. Growing up, she was inspired by Tabu`s powerful performances and often watched her movies to learn the nuances of acting. This connection became even more special as Saiee stepped into a role that closely mirrors Tabu`s character. "I`m very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Tabu. She would help me prep for my character Vasu by reading and rehearsing my lines, so that I would get the tone and dialogue delivery right. My father has always said how in his opinion Tabu is the best actress and since my childhood he`s said if you want to learn acting sit and watch Tabu`s films. So I`ve watched so much of her work growing up because my father said she is the actor I need to take inspiration from. When you watch her there is so much to learn from her and I feel like I manifested it in some way," says Saiee M Manjrekar.
