Reports from The Orissa Post detail an event where Jackie Shroff allegedly attempted to kiss Tabu, who was only 14 years old at the time. Tabu had accompanied her sister, actress Farah Naaz, to Mauritius, where Farah was filming "Diljalaa" with Jackie Shroff.

During their stay, Danny Denzongpa hosted a party for the cast and crew. It was reported that Jackie Shroff, allegedly intoxicated, made an unwanted advance towards Tabu. Sources claim that Tabu resisted, and Danny Denzongpa intervened.
