NDTV Profit Ignite 2026 turned into a micro‑arena when veteran actor Annu Kapoor, known for his sharp wit, threw a curveball at the current screen star.
Kapoor, in a tone that many felt was more playful than critical, remarked "Mashallah kya dudhiya badan hai", suggesting her skin tone could lull children to sleep.
Tamannaah didn’t let the comment sit. She countered by saying she listens more than she reacts, that "I focus on my work" and that her role is to serve audiences with authenticity.
The outcry over Kapoor’s words rang louder than a grammy, with netizens and critics decrying the remark as sexist and reducing a star to her appearance.
For Tamannaah, the episode is a reminder that her screen presence is built on performance, not appearance – a stance she’s been sharpening for years as she gears up for her next big role.
