“Main filmon mein aya bhi na tha …. tab ye….baby Tabassum ke naam se star they (Even before my entry in films, Tabassum was already popular),” added Dharmendra. Dharmendra and Tabassum worked together in 1967 film, Dulhan Ek Raat Ki. Directed by DD Kashyap, the film also starred Nutan, Helen and Johnny Walker among others.
According to Tabassum’s brother-in-law, actor Arun Govil, she suffered from cold and cough. He also shared that she had ‘gastrointestinal problems’ in her final days. Speaking with ETimes, he said,” It all started with a bout of cold and cough, which got worse. We admitted her to the hospital and in the last couple of days, she also suffered from some gastrointestinal problems. Finally, yesterday evening (Friday) at around 8:40 pm, she suffered a cardiac arrest. Her last rites were performed yesterday. She had a peaceful last journey and it was her wish to not inform anyone about her demise for at least two days."
