Tamannaah Bhatia: 'According to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq, I met him at...'
The reports of Vijay Varma and Tamannaah Bhatia have been circulating on social media for the past few weeks. The Babli Bouncer actress attended the trailer launch of her upcoming Telugu film Odela 2 in Mumbai yesterday.
During the event, the actress didn't take Vijay Varma's name but shared a cryptic response to one of the questions and said that one must find the solution within to all the questions and problems.
And now in an interview with The Lallantop, the actress spoke about her bizarre wedding rumours with Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Bhatia said, 'According to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq, it was so embarrassing. I met him at a jewellery store. We were doing an opening. I have no memory of the city.'
Back in 2020 as well, she released a statement that said, 'One day it's an actor, another day it's a cricketer, and now it's a doctor. These rumours make it sound like I'm on a husband shopping spree. While I love the idea of being in love, I don't appreciate baseless news when it comes to my personal life. I am happily single at the moment and my parents aren't groom hunting.'
Tamannaah also added, 'The only thing I'm romancing right now is my cinematic endeavours. I wonder where these speculations constantly crop up from when all I'm doing is shooting. It's prejudicial and disrespectful. The day I decide on going down that road, I will announce it to the world myself because the institute is consecrated, it's not as casual as the numerous speculations being floated.'

Divya Dutta on debuting in Telugu with Deva Katta's Mayasabha: ‘What better than to play a powerful woman?'
Actor Divya Dutta is on a roll. She began this year by playing the conspiring Soyarabai in Laxman Utekar's Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava, which is the highest-grossing film of this year. And now, she is gearing up to debut in Telugu with the SonyLIV web series Mayasabha, directed by Deva Katta. 'I knew Chhaava would do well, but the euphoria it received was heartening,' says the actor in a chat with Hindustan Times, adding, '2024 and 2025 have been such great years for me work-wise. Now I'm even debuting in Telugu.' Divya Dutta debuts in Telugu with Deva Katta's political web series Mayasabha. Divya Dutta in the world of Mayasabha Set in the 1970s and 80s, Mayasabha explores the dynamic between two rival politicians, Krishnama Naidu and Rami Reddy, played by Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao. Divya plays the formidable Iravati Basu, who commands respect in a world governed by men. 'I believe this role is absolutely apt to begin my innings in Telugu. What better than to play a woman in politics who holds her own while facing off men?' says Divya. The actor says she was drawn to the power her character commandeers and how Deva explained the story to her. 'I was immediately drawn to the way Deva Katta narrated Mayasabha to me. It's lovely as an actor when you get to tap into nuances and play with layers in any character. Everything from the way she exchanges looks to the way she stands her own has been fleshed out so well, it was a ball to play her,' says Divya. Whistling to Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan films Divya is all praise for her co-stars, stating, 'Aadhi and I got along immensely from the moment I met him. He's such an amazing guy, a brilliant actor and just super fun to be with. It took a while for Chaitanya to open up to me, but we got there eventually. I've been such an ardent admirer of Nassar sir, so to share the screen with him was amazing. I'm an absolute fan girl.' What's more, the actor is candid about her fondness for other actors down south, too. 'I've grown up watching South films and whistling when Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth comes on-screen. Deva Katta has told me he'll bring me to Hyderabad, and I'm already doing a Hindi film produced by Rana Daggubati. I've already put my footsteps here and would love to belong because the South is coming out with such amazing projects. The grandeur in their films is something else,' says an excited Divya. On wanting dessert after roti Having begun her career in the 1990s and starring in films like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Sharmajee Ki Beti, Divya says she's now looking for roles she can sink her teeth into. 'I have two films with Manoj Bajpayee, one with Jimmy and a biopic with Neeraj Kabi, apart from a huge show on JioHotstar. That hunger to play good roles was always there, but now that I've eaten roti, I'm craving some dessert,' says Divya, adding, 'Very few author-backed roles have been offered to me in my career. I've always had to make that space by bringing the X factor, and it was a huge mehanat (hard work). But I feel things are changing now.' The actor says she has noticed how the roles written for women don't just revolve around the trope of 'one hero, one heroine'. 'Everybody is now playing characters, and there's a lovely competitiveness to it. It's not like how it used to be…how typical heroines were perceived to have short shelf lives. We're now discussing women who are 40 and older, roles are written so beautifully now,' says Divya. Even as she forays down south, Divya says there are a few things she would love to change in Bollywood. 'I just really wish we concentrated more on stories and less on other things. And that there was ample time to showcase films in theatres before they hit OTT. I've gone to theatres the last few weeks and seen full houses. So the audience is interested, they just don't want to be fed the same things,' she rounds off.

Tollywood faces shutdown over wage dispute
The Telugu film industry, popularly known as Tollywood, has come to a grinding halt after the Telugu Film Employees Federation called for an indefinite strike. The strike follows a prolonged standoff between the Federation and the Telugu Film Producers Council and Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce over a demand for wage revisions. The Federation, representing over 10,000 workers from 24 departments—including set workers, costume assistants, lighting crews, and other key technicians—is demanding a 30% hike in daily wages, currently set at ₹1,400. They argue that the rates have remained unchanged for the past three years, impacting thousands of livelihoods. Speaking on the matter, former Federation General Secretary Rajeswar Reddy said, 'Despite multiple meetings with producers, there has been no real progress. We've waited long enough. Now, our workers will not report to duty until our demands are met.' He added that producers often spend crores on top-tier technicians but fail to support the base-level workforce that keeps the sets running. Several major film shoots, including big-budget productions and web series, have been forced to pause as workers across all 24 categories join the strike. In response, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce issued an official statement condemning the Federation's action. 'The Federation is unilaterally demanding a 30% wage increase. We are already paying wages that exceed the minimum wage laws for both skilled and unskilled labor,' said K.L. Damodar Prasad, Honorary Secretary of the Chamber. The statement added that the strike would result in severe losses for producers and disrupt production schedules across the board. It urged producers not to enter into independent agreements with any unions and to wait for a collective resolution. While the Chamber maintains that it is working with authorities to find a sustainable solution, the Federation remains firm in its stand. They have rejected the producers' offer of a 5% hike and are demanding a written commitment confirming a 30% wage increase. Until then, the Tollywood workforce remains off the sets, holding firm for what they believe is a long-overdue pay revision, marking a significant moment of unrest in the Telugu film industry.
