Mumbai (The COW News Digital)Indian actress Tamannaah Bhatia has finally addressed long-standing rumors linking her romantically with cricketers Virat Kohli and former Pakistani all-rounder Abdul Razzaq. In a candid interview with Indian media, the actress clarified her stance and expressed frustration over baseless speculation that has followed her for years.
Tamannaah revealed that the rumor linking her with Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli stemmed from a commercial shoot in 2010. “It bothers me because I met him for just one day. After that, there was no conversation, no meeting,” she said. A single photo from the advertisement shoot had gone viral, sparking unfounded gossip about a potential relationship between the two.
The actress also laughed off another persistent rumor — that she had secretly married former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq. This rumor originated from a photograph showing the two attending a jewelry store event together in 2020. The image had circulated widely on social media, fueling speculation of a secret relationship.
“Just imagine! According to the internet, I was already married to Abdul Razzaq!” Tamannaah said, adding humorously, “Sorry sir, but you already have children.” She explained that the photo was taken during the inauguration of a jewelry showroom in which both she and Razzaq were invited guests — and nothing more.
Commenting on the bizarre nature of internet-driven assumptions, she added, “The internet is truly a funny place. It’s strange how people make up entire stories out of a single photograph. It gets very weird when people create narratives where no relationship exists.”
Tamannaah further stated that while she initially felt upset about the rumors, she has now come to terms with the reality of public life. “You can’t explain everything to everyone. People will think whatever they want to think. It takes time, but eventually, you accept it,” she said.
The actress’s remarks have gone viral, especially in cricket and entertainment circles, finally putting to rest two of the most persistent gossip stories involving her. Her honest and lighthearted approach has been appreciated by fans across the subcontinent.
