Tamannaah Bhatia is one of the few actors who has created a distinct niche for herself in Bollywood as well as the south film industry. And predictably, she has often found herself at the centre of the proverbial rumour mill. However, it was the buzz around her romantic involvement with cricketers Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq that grabbed the headlines like no other.
Never the one to hesitate in expressing her opinion, Tamannaah has finally broken her silence about the rumours.
Trashing the dating buzz with Virat Kohli as rumours, the ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ actor said, “I feel so bad because I literally met him for only once. I have never met Virat after that.”
For the unversed, a photograph of Tamannaah with Kohli had gone viral in 2012. While netizens went crazy claiming that the due was romantically involved, turns out, it was just a formal interaction during the shooting of an advertisement that the two did together.
Another picture of Tamannaah with Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq had gone viral when the two happened to be present in the same jewellery shop.

The grapevine went into an overdrive and claimed that the two had tied the knot.
Responding to the rumour, the ‘Baahubali’ actor said: “Mazaak mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq! The Internet is a fun place. Yeah, according to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq.”
With folded hands, she quipped: “I'm sorry sir. You have children. I don't know about your life but it was so embarrassing.”
She added that it was the inauguration of the jewellery shop where both Razzaq and she were present.
“It is very awkward when the media links you to someone you have absolutely no connection with. But there is nothing you can do. It takes time but one finally accepts that there’s nothing one can do about it. You can’t control what anyone thinks,” she concluded.
One the work front, Bhatia is working on multiple language films, including Hindi folk thriller ‘VVAN - Force Of The Forrest’, Telugu film ‘That Is Mahalakshmi’ set to release in December this year and Tamil romantic drama ‘Yen Endru Kadhal Enben, scheduled to release in August 2026.
