Tabu and Mira Nair are a match made in cinematic heaven. If one is known for her astute storytelling, the other almost innately elevates a scene by her sheer presence. "It's always so wonderful reconnecting with Mira," begins Tabu, who recently wrapped up the shoot of A Suitable Boy, the BBC series based on Vikram Seth's novel by the same name.

The duo had first collaborated on another book-to-screen adaptation, The Namesake (2006). As they reunited almost 14 years later, Tabu says she was glad to see that Nair remained unchanged at heart. "She has the same energy that I had seen during The Namesake. I don't think she has aged at all," she laughs, before adding, "Mira keeps collaborating with people whom she has worked with earlier. To be able to form such bonds in today's world is a beautiful quality. She is like a rock who will never move."
