'Stree 2' star Tamannaah Bhatia addresses relationship rumours with Virat Kohli: 'I felt so bad because...'
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 recently.
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 relationship rumours with Virat Kohli and 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 hoon.'

Tamannaah said, 'I can't tell you the number of mothers that have called me up and said, 'My child will eat food only if he hears Aaj Ki Raat'. Because bacche apne diaper mein aise aise hil rahe hote hai (moves side to side).'
The actress also spoke about her bizarre wedding rumours with Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq.
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.'

Big Clash, Small Payoff: No one's a winner !
When the release dates of 's Coolie and 's War 2 were locked for the same extended weekend, trade analysts, exhibitors, and fans braced themselves for what was billed as the 'clash of the year.' The two films carried enormous weight on their shoulders: Coolie promised to be another mass masala entertainer led by the Rajinikanth himself collaborating with hit machine while War 2 was touted as Bollywood's big-ticket spy-universe spectacle headlined by Hrithik Roshan with joining him to provide the south push. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Yet, four days after their release, the numbers tell a different story. Both films have managed strong openings but are nowhere near the benchmarks their makers and fans had hoped for. The Numbers So Far In India, Coolie collected Rs 65 crore on Day 1 (Thursday), primarily driven by Tamil Nadu and Telugu markets. Day 2 dropped to Rs 54.75 crore, followed by Rs 39.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 35 crore on Sunday. That brings its four-day total to aroundRs 194.25 crore net across languages. War 2, on the other hand, opened lower with Rs 52 crore on Day 1. It managed to inch higher on Day 2 with Rs 57.35 crore, before sliding sharply to Rs 33.25 crore on Saturday andRs 31 crore (early estimates) on Sunday. Its four-day total stands atRs 173.6 crore net across languages with Hindi version contributing over Rs 125 crore. Overseas, the story isn't drastically different. In North America, Coolie minted around USD 6 million in four days, while War 2 collected USD 3 million. For two films that were marketed as pan-India and global tentpoles, these numbers, while healthy in isolation, do not reflect the earth-shattering dominance one would expect from such heavyweight titles. The real problem both films face isn't the clash , it is the content itself. Rajinikanth's Coolie was designed as a throwback to the larger-than-life masala entertainers that made him a superstar. The trailers promised punch dialogues, exaggerated action, and whistle-worthy swagger. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The first day's collections indicated that fans turned out in droves. But as the weekend wore on, the word of mouth began to dip. Audiences complained about a weak screenplay, recycled tropes, and lack of emotional depth. Rajinikanth's charisma remained intact, but the film offered little beyond his screen presence. Younger audiences, especially in metros, found the film dated, while family audiences felt the emotional core was missing. On the other hand, War 2 had the baggage of carrying forward the Spy Universe after Pathaan and Tiger. Expectations were sky-high, especially with Hrithik Roshan reprising his role and NTR Jr joining as the antagonist. The fans called out the film for its flimsy writing, incoherent arcs,not up to the mark VFX and a predictable storyline. The problem here wasn't the lack of spectacle but the absence of a gripping emotional anchor. The film felt like a series of set pieces stitched together rather than a cohesive narrative. When two big-ticket films release on the same day, cannibalization is inevitable. Screens get divided, shows overlap, and audiences—especially in multiplexes—are forced to choose one over the other. In this case, Coolie dominated the South Indian markets, while War 2 enjoyed better traction in North India. The Burden of Expectation Both films also became victims of their own hype. Coolie was marketed as Rajinikanth's grand return after the super success of JailerThe teaser broke records, the songs trended across social media, and fan clubs went all out with promotions. But when the film delivered more of the same old formula, audiences felt shortchanged. War 2, meanwhile, was positioned as a chapter in India's first 'spy universe.' The inclusion of NTR Jr was supposed to attract Southern audiences, while Hrithik's return was meant to fuel nationwide frenzy. However, the film's writing simply didn't match the monumental expectations it carried. Mixed Word of Mouth Another critical factor has been the mixed word of mouth. Coolie has strong appeal among Rajinikanth loyalists, ensuring single-screen crowds remain energetic, but urban audiences are lukewarm. War 2 is attracting footfalls for its action spectacle, but its inconsistent pacing is putting off repeat viewership. The Road Ahead For Coolie, the hope lies in South Indian markets, where Rajinikanth's pull remains unmatched. The film may stabilize at lower levels but still post healthy lifetime numbers due to fan loyalty. For War 2, the Hindi belt will be crucial. If word of mouth steadies and the weekday drops aren't too steep, the film can still salvage its run, though crossing Rs 300 crore net in India a figure once expected now looks improbable despite having no new films releasing till 29th August. In the end, the much-hyped Coolie vs War 2 clash has proven to be a lose-lose situation. Instead of creating fireworks at the box office, the battle has highlighted the fragility of films that lean too heavily on hype and star power while neglecting storytelling. Both Rajinikanth and Hrithik Roshan remain massive crowd-pullers, and both films will recover costs thanks to pre-sales, digital, and satellite deals. But in terms of theatrical impact, neither will go down as the historic blockbuster their makers envisioned. Sometimes, two giants colliding doesn't create a spectacle; it simply leaves both bruised.

The Tennis Star With Four India-Pakistan Cricket Captains In Her Family
Sania Mirza's most public cricketing connection was her marriage to Pakistan's star all-rounder Shoaib Malik. The two tied the knot in April 2010 and divorced in January 2024. When Sania Mirza picked up a tennis racquet as a young girl in Hyderabad, little did anyone know that she would not only redefine women's tennis but also emerge as a rare bridge between two of the subcontinent's most celebrated sports – tennis and cricket. Today, Sania stands as a six-time Grand Slam winner, the first Indian woman to achieve such a feat, and a global face of sports. But behind the trophies and the spotlight lies a fascinating story; four members of her extended family have captained the national cricket teams of India and Pakistan. Few athletes in the world can claim to belong to such an extraordinary sporting lineage. This unique intersection of tennis and cricket in Sania's life offers a glimpse into both her personal and professional worlds, making her journey stand apart even among the greatest athletes. Shoaib Malik Sania Mirza's most public cricketing connection was her marriage to Pakistan's star all-rounder Shoaib Malik. The two tied the knot in April 2010, a wedding that captured global headlines as it symbolised a rare bond between India and Pakistan through sport. For 14 years, the couple remained in the limelight, raising their son Izhan together, until they divorced in January 2024. While Sania continues to live in Dubai with her son as a single mother, Shoaib Malik has moved on to marry Pakistani actress Sana Javed. Despite retirement from Test cricket in 2015 and ODIs in 2019, Malik remains active in T20 leagues around the world, including the Pakistan Super League. He was Pakistan's captain in all three formats at different times, leading the team to the 2007 T20 World Cup final and eventually lifting the T20 World Cup in 2009. His record remains impressive; more than 7,500 ODI runs, over 2,400 runs in T20 internationals, and centuries in Test cricket. He was also the first cricketer to feature in 100 T20 internationals. Azharuddin The Mirza family's cricketing connection does not end there. Sania's younger sister, Anam Mirza, is married to Mohammad Asad, son of India's former captain Mohammad Azharuddin. Known for his wristy elegance and remarkable batting talent, Azharuddin remains one of the most admired cricketers. Born in Hyderabad in 1963, Azharuddin burst onto the international stage by scoring centuries in his first three Test matches, a record that still stands unique. Over his career, he represented India in 99 Tests and 334 ODIs, amassing more than 15,000 international runs. He captained India in 47 Tests and 174 ODIs, remembered both for his brilliance with the bat and his leadership during the 1990s. Ghulam Ahmed Sania's cricket lineage stretches further back to her father's uncle, Ghulam Ahmed, who captained India in the 1950s. An off-spinner from Hyderabad, Ghulam Ahmed played 22 Test matches between 1948 and 1958. Though his international career was modest in numbers, he was entrusted with leadership in three Test matches and went on to become a respected figure in Indian cricket administration. He passed away in 1998 at the age of 76 but remains an important link in the Mirza family's cricketing legacy. Asif Iqbal Adding another layer to this unique story is Sania's uncle, former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal. Born in Hyderabad, Asif initially played domestic cricket in India before moving to Pakistan in the early 1960s. He eventually became one of Pakistan's most stylish middle-order batsmen and captained the national side in six Test matches. Asif Iqbal's career included 58 Tests and 4390 runs, along with more than 2300 runs in ODIs. He famously led Pakistan on their tour of India in 1979-80, a series that held immense political and emotional weight given the history between the two countries. While her family's cricketing ties are remarkable, Sania's own achievements remain unmatched in tennis. She won six Grand Slam titles – three in women's doubles and three in mixed doubles – alongside global partners including Martina Hingis. Her victories at Wimbledon (2015), US Open (2015), and Australian Open (2016) cemented her as one of the world's best doubles players. At her peak, Sania was ranked world No. 1 in doubles, an achievement no other Indian woman has managed. She also won 43 WTA doubles titles and a WTA singles title, while climbing into the top 30 of the WTA singles rankings, again, the highest for an Indian woman. Her medal tally at the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, including a mixed doubles gold at the 2014 Asian Games, further adds to her decorated career. view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: August 18, 2025, 13:22 IST News sports The Tennis Star With Four India-Pakistan Cricket Captains In Her Family Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
