If you are a diehard fan of Shah Rukh Khan, then you won’t have missed watching ‘Main Hoon Na’. But did you notice Tabu in the movie? Not many could spot her in the 2004 superhit Main Hoon Na but for those of you who didn’t, we got your back. Particularly in Farah Khan’s film, there is a scene when everyone was trying to make Major Ram prepare for the prom night. Tabu played a teacher who watches lead hero Shah Rukh Khan dance. The cameo was even shorter than a second but turns out there is a special story behind it.
Farah’s lucky charm Tabu
This is when Tabu made a blink-and-miss appearance in the Farah Khan directorial. As per reports, Farah wanted Tabu to be in at least one frame of her debut movie as she acknowledged her to be a lucky charm.
On March 02, Diet Sabya shared a tweet and Farah Khan’s DM told them about it. The tweet shared a picture of Tabu and Shah Rukh from the film and mentioned, “Still trying to figure out why Tabu agreed to do this 0.2-second cameo in Main Hoon Na.” Farah replied to Diet Sabya saying, “Arre she was in Darjeeling for some other shoot and came to visit me on my set. And I put her in this shot. Without makeup and in her clothes.” Diet Sabya added, “In case y’all didn’t know.”

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama last year, Farah said, “For Main Hoon Na, I struggled a lot to make my first movie even though Shah Rukh was my best friend and I had access to him. Still, he didn’t give everything to me on a silver platter. He made me work for it and he made me wait for three years.” She further added that she feels it turned out to be for the better, “In hindsight, I feel it was good as I was not ready. But then, I’d wake up with angst in my heart. I’d ask myself ‘Why am I not making a film?’ And this habit of giving gaalis on the mic, I must have learnt during those three years.”
