Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia has finally addressed two long-standing rumours that have followed her for years — one linking her romantically with cricketer Virat Kohli, and the other suggesting a secret marriage with former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq.
In a candid interview, the actress expressed amusement and frustration over the baseless gossip that continues to resurface online.
On Virat Kohli Dating Rumours
Tamannaah was linked to Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli back in 2012 after the duo shot for an ad commercial together. Since then, rumours have sporadically surfaced suggesting a romantic relationship between the two.
Shutting down the speculation once and for all, Tamannaah said,
“I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day. I have never met Virat after the shoot. Na maine unse baat ki na unse mili hun (I haven’t spoken to him, nor have I met him).”
The actress emphasized that the story has no real basis and was purely a product of imagination. Despite the passage of time and Virat’s now well-known marriage to actress Anushka Sharma, the rumour persists online, something Tamannaah finds both strange and unfortunate.
On Abdul Razzaq Marriage Buzz
Another bizarre rumour that has frequently surfaced on social media is Tamannaah’s alleged marriage to Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq. This speculation was triggered by a photograph of the two at a jewellery store event, which netizens interpreted as a sign of a relationship.
Addressing the rumour with humour, Tamannaah laughed it off and said:
“Mazaak Mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq! The Internet is a fun place. Yaa, according to the Internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq.”
The actress made it clear that there was no romantic connection between her and Razzaq and that the viral photo was from a public event where both were present coincidentally.
Tamannaah’s Take on Online Rumours
Tamannaah also took a broader stance on how misinformation spreads quickly in the digital age.
“The internet doesn’t need facts; it just needs a photo and a headline, and that’s enough to create a story. It’s quite amusing but also concerning.”
Despite her fame, Tamannaah has largely kept her personal life away from the limelight and has rarely been involved in controversies. She has always preferred to focus on her acting career, with successful stints in both Bollywood and the South Indian film industry.
Public Reactions
Fans have praised the actress for her honesty and her ability to laugh at the strange stories that follow her. Many took to social media to express their support, with comments like, “She’s so grounded!” and “Respect for handling it with such grace.”
With this interview, Tamannaah Bhatia puts an end to two of the most persistent celebrity rumours on the Internet. She reminds fans that not everything seen or shared online reflects reality — and sometimes, it’s just best to laugh it off.
