Heuston fondly recounted how Tabu would spend quality time with him outside of filming, even going as far as bringing him delicious, authentic Indian meals to the set every day. “Tabu used to, like, hang out with me at the front of the trailer.

The touching anecdote struck a chord with fans, who took to social media to express their admiration for Tabu’s caring nature. One fan even noted, “‘Kept me alive and fed me’ something a son would say fr,” highlighting the genuine bond between the two actors.
