Tamannaah Bhatia Breaks Silence on Rumours Linking Her to Virat Kohli

In a recent frank interview with The Lallantop, actress Tamannaah Bhatia talked about the ridiculous and persistent rumours about her associations with Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq.

Tamannaah who is known for her grace and sense of humour talked about the effect of long-standing false claims on her over the years – and how she has learnt to laugh it off.

The Viral Photo with Abdul Razzaq That Started It All

The most bizarre rumour originated in 2020, when a photo of Tamannaah at a jewellery store event with Abdul Razzaq went viral online. The image, innocent in nature, led to wild speculation about a romantic relationship—and even rumours of a secret marriage.

Responding with humour, Tamannaah Bhatia said:

“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.”

Just One Day With Virat Kohli — That’s It

Tamannaah was also linked to Virat Kohli, India’s cricket superstar, after the duo appeared together in a TV commercial years ago. The internet quickly churned out false reports of a budding romance between the two.

Clearing the air, she said:

“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.”

Emotional Toll of Fake Link-Ups

While Tamannaah has found ways to laugh at the situation, she admitted that such rumours do take a toll.

“It is very awkward when the media links you to someone you have absolutely no connection with.”

The actress said that although it took her a while to accept the reality of being a public figure, she now understands that she can’t control public perception or online gossip.

Tamannaah Bhatia Googles Herself Too!

In the same interview, the Baahubali star also spoke about how she sometimes checks how the audience perceives her by searching her name online.

“As an actor, it’s important to be aware of what the audience thinks about your work. I keep googling myself from time to time… It has to have some impact and meaning in someone’s life.”

This highlights how even popular celebrities like Tamannaah Bhatia are mindful of their public image and fan perception, despite having to face bizarre internet gossip.

From being “married” to Abdul Razzaq to a fabricated connection with Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Bhatia has weathered it all. Her honest, humorous, and graceful response in the face of such absurd rumours proves why she’s not just a talented actress but a class act.

While the internet may never stop speculating, Tamannaah Bhatia’s calm and composed clarification should put these rumours to rest once and for all.
