Tamannaah Bhatia opens up about social media hate: ‘It took me by storm’

Tamannaah Bhatia, a well-known actress, recently discussed how she handles negativity on social media, particularly when people post hurtful comments about her.She shared her thoughts in a conversation with author Luke Coutinho, who co-authored her book "Back To The Roots: Celebrating Indian Wisdom and Wellness" in 2021.

Tamannaah reflected on dealing with mean comments, stating that in the world of films, there comes a time when a lot of hate is directed toward you, especially on social media where people can hide behind anonymity.

She admitted that initially, these negative comments took her by surprise and made her question her actions, wondering if she had done something wrong.As she pondered the source of such negativity, Tamannaah realized that people often engage in moral policing without understanding that she is an actor and performer.

They expect her to conform to their idealistic standards, which may not align with her true self.She emphasized that the criticism often reflects more about the critics themselves than about her.Tamannaahs strategy for coping with this hate is to choose between believing what others say about her or believing in her own perception of herself.She prefers to focus on becoming the person she aspires to be, rather than worrying about the opinions of those who havent experienced her journey or lived her life.

In a separate development, earlier this year, a video featuring Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma kissing at a New Years party in Goa was leaked and caused quite a stir.Subsequently, the two confirmed their relationship and have been seen together at various events.

Vijay Varma, too, acknowledged the overwhelming public interest in their personal lives.Their relationship began while working together on "Lust Stories 2," which was released on Netflix.
