Tamannaah Bhatia: Owning the spotlight, guarding her space, and crafting her next act

With a career spanning nearly two decades, Tamannaah Bhatia has grown from a teen debutante to one of Indian cinema’s most versatile and bankable actors. From ruling Tamil and Telugu cinema to making a strong mark in Bollywood and OTT platforms, her journey has been nothing short of dynamic. Known for iconic roles in films like 'Baahubali', 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy', and 'Paiyya', she has consistently chosen roles that reflect both strength and sensitivity. Today, Tamannaah stands as a fashion-forward celebrity, advocate for self-expression, and an evolving creative force.
Understanding fame beyond the spotlight
In an interview with The New Indian Express, Tamannaah Bhatia shares a grounded perspective on fame, viewing it as a package deal that comes with both celebration and criticism. She believes that fame, while empowering, can also be overwhelming if one becomes too attached to it. “If something lifts you up, it can bring you down too,” she reflects. Her approach is to stay detached from both praise and backlash, choosing instead to focus on her personal growth and inner peace.
Balancing privacy in a public life
In a world where every move is scrutinized, Tamannaah makes it a point to guard her privacy without alienating her fans. She understands the trade-off that comes with celebrity status but consciously creates space for herself beyond the spotlight. It’s this balance between public presence and personal boundaries that allows her to stay grounded amidst the chaos of stardom.
Fresh goals, new creative chapters
Personally, Tamannaah is setting her sights on something simple yet fulfilling learning to cook. Professionally, she’s gearing up to announce two major films while also working on a project she’s developing independently. More than just a performer, she’s now stepping into the role of a storyteller, eager to push her creative boundaries and explore new formats beyond the screen.
