Tamannaah Bhatia has come a long way and she has been scaling new heights. However, popularity comes at a cost. The actress landed in troubled waters after a throwback video from her teenage years surfaced the internet. Tamannaah has finally opened up about the negativity she faced on social media and revealed how she handled it all. Speaking to author Luke Coutinho, Tamannaah revealed how she deals with 'faceless people literally writing anything they feel like about her'.
She has written a book, Back To The Roots: Celebrating Indian Wisdom and Wellness (2021), with Luke.
Lust Stories 2 actress told Luke, "In this journey (in films), there comes a time for everyone, when there is a lot of hate directed towards you and inevitably on social media because it is mostly faceless people literally writing anything they feel like about you, which can be really nasty. For me, when that happened to me for the first moment, it took me by a storm and I was very uncomfortable with it because it really made me feel like what's going on? Is something that I have done gone wrong?"
Tamannaah continued, "When I spent some time on my own, I literally asked myself 'Where do you think this comes from?' Sometimes there is a lot of moral policing people do, not realising that you are an actor, you are a performer and they expect you to be an idealistic version of something that is ideal in their way, in their head. So it is not necessary that what they are projecting towards you is about you, it's actually about them."
Reflecting on the same, Tamannaah explained that she has the option of either believing that what people say about her is actually her or believe what she thinks is true about herself. Naturally, the actress chose to focus on 'becoming who she wants to become' and not be worried about what so many people think about her.
She also asserted that people who troll her, 'have never been on her journey, have not lived her life, and have no idea about who she is'.
