Tamannaah Bhatia admits Stree 2’s Aaj Ki Raat helped in ‘accepting her body’; recalls being told she was ‘big’ and ‘fat’ in Kaavaalaa

As an ardent admirer of Tamannaah Bhatia, I find myself deeply moved by her journey and her powerful message about self-love and body acceptance. Growing up, like many of us, she grappled with unrealistic beauty standards and the pressure to conform to a certain ideal. But what sets Tamannaah apart is her courage to confront these societal norms and challenge them head-on.

The unique dance performance by Tamannaah Bhatia in the movie starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao titled “Aaj Ki Raat” has garnered immense affection from fans. More recently, the actress opened up about her childhood experiences with unattainable beauty ideals, but she also shared that this song played a significant role in helping her embrace her body.

In a recent chat with Instant Bollywood, Tamannaah Bhatia shared an insight from her past: as a child, she believed being slim equated to fitness, and felt pressured to conform to a specific image in films. However, the actress from The Lust Stories 2 eventually understood that this ideal served a limited purpose and didn’t enhance her genuine sense of beauty.

I seldom connected my self-confidence with my weight, a notion I’ve carried since childhood. It wasn’t until quite recently that I began to truly appreciate myself. Somehow, the show ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ may have played a part in helping me embrace my body as well.

She also recollected an unanticipated response from a woman when her song “Kaavaalaa” from Jailer was released. At a gathering, a lady approached me and expressed gratitude because of me, she said, curvy women feel validated, and you were so large and, plump, yet you were enjoying yourself. It wasn’t until I heard it directly from her that I truly comprehended that, in her eyes, I was overweight.

Tamannaah pointed out that in her own opinion, she considered herself attractive. However, she also recognized that the public’s perception might be swayed due to everyone having smartphones at their disposal. She added that with so many people posting photos, there’s a general pressure on individuals to appear beautiful and conform to a specific image.

The actress openly admitted to holding a powerful platform, enabling her to convey that inner beauty surpasses physical appearance. She shattered conventional beauty norms by underscoring the importance of self-perception.

She clarified her perspective by stating that even though she’d look flawless in formal attire, she’d still dislike herself due to discomfort and breathing issues. On the contrary, she feels most beautiful when she’s casually dressed with minimal makeup and hairstyling.

Tamannaah is currently enjoying the release of Sikandar ka Muqaddar.
