Actor Sonali Kulkarni says she initially felt “pure jealousy” after losing a National Award to Tabu. She describes how, after experiencing that reaction, she later had a chance to meet Tabu following her interest in Tabu’s work.
In the interview, Kulkarni links her shift in feelings to the personal interaction she did not have earlier. She says that after watching Tabu’s films, there came a day when she got to meet her, and that meeting altered her perspective.
Across the reports, the core points are the same: Kulkarni comments on her emotional response to losing the award and then emphasizes that direct contact with Tabu changed how she felt. The coverage is framed as Kulkarni’s own account of her mindset and her subsequent encounter, with no additional competing claims about the award itself in the provided excerpts.
