Tamannaah Bhatia Responds to Annu Kapoor's Controversial Remark on Her Looks

Tamannaah Bhatia has responded to remarks made by veteran actor Annu Kapoor about her appearance, which he had made last year during an appearance on a YouTube show.

Speaking at the NDTV Profit Ignite 2026 event, Bhatia was asked about the commentary on her complexion, which many had described as misogynistic and sexist. She was also questioned about whether her recent career choices reflected a shift in her public image.

In her response, she said that as a creative individual, listening carefully and deciding what to internalize and what to filter out is essential. She added that dwelling on such remarks would hinder personal progress, and that she chooses instead to concentrate entirely on her acting career and craft.

She further explained that she views her work as a form of service, suggesting that this mindset is what allows her performances to connect with audiences.

Kapoor's original remarks, made on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube channel, referred to Bhatia's appearance in the song 'Aaj Ki Raat' and drew criticism for being inappropriate and objectifying.

Bhatia was most recently seen in 'The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest,' alongside Sidharth Malhotra, which released in theatres on September 25, 2026.
