Mumbai: Actress Tamannaah Bhatia recently surprised fans with her physical transformation, and many linked her weight loss to Ozempic usage.
Breaking her silence in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar India, Tamannaah shut down Ozempic rumours and quipped that her curves are not going anywhere.
Tamannaah, who has been in front of the camera since the age of 15 explained: “For me, COVID hit my body really hard, and it became difficult to keep my body at the same weight as it was in my 20s. I struggled with it. I love food, I love to eat my rice, roti, dal. While doing all those healthy things, I still had to face the camera, and I began to feel that I don’t want to be conscious of feeling a certain size, and I’m constantly trying to correct it. I’m feeling like ‘Oh, is my tummy outside?’ Because at some point, my tummy was coming out, and I was thinking, What is happening to my body?”
“But inflammation is real. Any woman who is going through the cycle feels like her body is shifting. I went through the same in my early 30s, and my curves are not going anywhere. My curves are not going anywhere because I am Sindhi. That hip and waist are not going anywhere because that is bone structure. I don’t think you will ever see me following global beauty standards because it’s aspirational to be Indian, people love our curves, and I think it’s time that we should embrace that,” she added.
On the work front, Tamannaah was recently seen in SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali: The Epic’.
In her next movie ‘Vvan’, Sidharth Malhotra will be her co-star.
Produced by Ektaa Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms and The Viral Fever, the film will be directed by Arunabh Kumar and Deepak Mishra, and is scheduled to be released in cinemas in 2026.
