Mumbai, India – August 7, 2025: Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia has finally addressed the viral rumors that once linked her romantically—and even matrimonially—with former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq. Speaking candidly in a recent interview, Tamannaah reflected on the bizarre and embarrassing nature of the speculation, which gained traction online back in 2020.
The Origins of the Rumor
The speculation began after Tamannaah and Razzaq were photographed together at a jewellery store inauguration. The event, which was purely professional, quickly became the foundation for unfounded marriage claims.
Laughing off the controversy, Tamannaah said during an interview with Lallantop:
“It was hilarious. The internet claimed I was married to Abdul Razzaq for a brief moment. I mean, sorry sir, I believe you already have two or three children. I don’t know much about your life, but this was truly embarrassing.”
Not Just Razzaq – Link-Up with Virat Kohli Too
Tamannaah also addressed another long-standing rumor that once tied her to Indian cricket star Virat Kohli.
“I felt really bad about that one,” she admitted. “I’ve only met Virat once in my life, and never again after that. But somehow, our names were linked.”
On Media Speculation and Fame
The actress expressed her discomfort with baseless link-up stories, saying:
“It feels very strange when the media connects your name with someone you have no association with. It’s intrusive.”
However, she added that with time, she has come to accept such incidents as part of being in the public eye.
“It takes time, but eventually you understand there’s not much you can do about it.”
Why She Googles Herself
Interestingly, Tamannaah revealed she occasionally looks herself up online to stay updated on public perception.
“As an actor, it’s important to know how your work is being received. I do films not just for myself, but also for audiences. It matters to me that my work has an impact on people’s lives.”
Looking Ahead
Despite the unwarranted headlines in the past, Tamannaah remains focused on meaningful cinema and audience connection.
“At the end of the day, the most important thing is that your work brings value and significance to someone else’s life,” she concluded.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s grounded approach to fame reminds us that while the internet may be a wild place, authenticity and perspective still matter most.
