Clearing the Air on Long-Standing Speculations

Tamannaah Bhatia, a celebrated actress known for her versatile roles in Bollywood and South Indian cinema, recently opened up about the persistent rumors linking her romantically with cricket stars Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq. In a candid interview with The Lallantop, the Baahubali star addressed these speculations with humor and grace, setting the record straight on her alleged connections with the two cricketers. Her revelations offer a glimpse into the challenges of navigating fame in the age of social media, where a single photo can spark years of gossip.

The Virat Kohli Dating Rumor: A One-Day Encounter

The buzz around Tamannaah and Virat Kohli began in 2010 when a picture from a commercial shoot featuring the duo went viral. Fans and media outlets speculated about a romantic relationship, but Tamannaah firmly debunked these claims. "I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day," she shared, emphasizing that their interaction was purely professional. "I have never met Virat after the shoot. Na maine unse baat ki, na unse mili hoon (I haven’t spoken to him, nor have I met him)," she added, expressing her discomfort with the baseless narrative that followed her for years. Her candid response highlights the often intrusive nature of celebrity gossip.

The Abdul Razzaq Marriage Myth: A Humorous Take

Even more surprising were the rumors that Tamannaah had secretly married former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq. The speculation stemmed from a 2020 photo of the two at a jewelry store event, which some interpreted as evidence of a romantic link. With her trademark wit, Tamannaah quipped, "Mazaak mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq! The internet is a fun place." Addressing Razzaq directly on camera, she playfully apologized, saying, "I’m sorry, sir, aapke do-teen bachhe hain (you have two or three children), I don’t know what your life is!" She clarified that their meeting was coincidental, part of a store inauguration, and described the marriage rumors as "so embarrassing." Her lighthearted approach underscores her ability to handle such bizarre claims with poise.

Navigating Fame and False Narratives

Tamannaah’s experience sheds light on the darker side of stardom, where media and online speculation can create stories out of thin air. "It’s very awkward when there’s no connection at all, and people still create one," she reflected. The actress admitted that while such rumors were initially unsettling, she has learned to accept that public perception is beyond her control. "It takes time, but you learn to accept that you can’t control what people think," she said, offering a relatable perspective on dealing with unwarranted scrutiny.

Tamannaah’s Current Focus: Career and Beyond

Currently single after her reported breakup with actor Vijay Varma, Tamannaah is channeling her energy into her thriving career. With upcoming projects like the Hindi folk thriller VVAN: Force of the Forest and the chartbuster song "Aaj Ki Raat" from Stree 2, she continues to captivate audiences across languages. Her ability to rise above gossip and focus on her craft makes her a true icon in Indian cinema.
