Tamannaah Bhatia Responds to Viral Dating Rumors

Tamannaah Bhatia, a renowned actress, recently addressed persistent rumors linking her romantically to former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq and Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. In an interview with The Lallantop, she expressed both amusement and embarrassment over these baseless speculations that often gain traction online.

Clarifying the Abdul Razzaq Connection

The rumors about Abdul Razzaq stemmed from a photograph taken at a jewelry store event in 2020, where both were present. This image led to widespread speculation about their relationship. Tamannaah humorously dismissed these claims, stating, “Mazaak mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq! The Internet is a fun place. According to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq. I’m sorry sir. Aapke dho teen bachche hai (You have 2-3 children). I don’t know about your life, but it was so embarrassing.”

Addressing Virat Kohli Rumors

Tamannaah also tackled rumors linking her to Virat Kohli, which surfaced after they appeared together in a commercial. She clarified that her interaction with Kohli was limited to the shoot day, saying, “I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day. I have never met Virat after the shoot. Na maine unse baat ki, na unse mili hoon.” She emphasized that these rumors were unfounded and arose from misinterpretations of brief professional interactions.

The Impact of Media Speculation

Tamannaah shared her discomfort with being linked to individuals she has no personal connection with. She noted the awkwardness of such media links and how she has gradually come to terms with them. Despite the absurdity of some rumors, she remains conscious of public perception and regularly checks online opinions about her work.

Maintaining Public Image

As an actor, Tamannaah believes it is crucial to understand audience perceptions of her work. She frequently searches her name online to gauge public opinion, explaining, “If you are not doing movies for yourself, you need to know if they like it or not.” Reflecting on her career, she emphasized the importance of having an impact and meaning in people’s lives through her work.
