Tamannaah Bhatia Swears By Morning 'Thook' For Pimples, Fans Say ‘It Actually Works'

Last Updated: Tamannaah Bhatia says she uses morning spit on her face to prevent pimples before brushing. Social media reacts, some call it effective, others call it risky. Tamannaah Bhatia, fondly known as the 'Milky Beauty' in the South Indian film industry, has always left fans curious about the secret behind her flawless skin. Recently, she made a surprising revelation that's left the internet buzzing. In an interaction with The Lallantop, Tamannaah shared a rather unconventional skincare ritual: she uses her morning saliva on her face to avoid pimples and it must be done before brushing her teeth. When Tamannaah casually mentioned this morning ritual during the interview, the room collectively gasped. Even the host appeared visibly stunned. 'Before brushing, just thook (spit)," she laughed, leaving everyone in splits. But she was serious and it turns out she's not alone in this. As clips from the interview went viral, many social media users came forward to agree with Tamannaah's unique hack. One fan commented, 'I thought I was the only one doing that," while another added, 'She is true, using this hack since years." Some even claimed the method works for eye infections as well, citing old household remedies. 'The saliva immediately after you wake up… use it for eye infection… it works there too," read one comment. However, not everyone is convinced. Several users raised concerns about the scientific validity of the trick. One sceptical user explained, 'Saliva does have antibacterial enzymes, but they are not strong enough to treat acne-causing bacteria effectively. Pimples are caused by more than just bacteria—clogged pores, excess oil, and inflammation play a big part. Saliva doesn't fix those." Despite the polarising opinions, the conversation sparked by Tamannaah's beauty secret has been an interesting mix of surprise, nostalgia, and debate. Whether you believe in the 'morning spit remedy" or not, it certainly makes for a memorable skincare confession. On the work front, Tamannaah was recently seen grooving to the track Nasha from Raid 2. She will next be seen opposite Ajay Devgn in Ranger. Additionally, she is also working on TVF's ambitious mythological project Vvan alongside Sidharth Malhotra. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Upcoming OTT releases in US: Wednesday S2 Part One, Mickey 17, & more

As the streaming landscape heats up this August, viewers can look forward to a fresh slate of exciting releases across genres—from returning series and action-packed films to sci-fi thrillers and dark comedies. Whether you're in the mood for quirky friendships, high-stakes heists, or futuristic adventures, here's a round-up of what's landing on Apple TV+, Prime Video and JioHotstar this week. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne return as Will and Sylvia, a pair of longtime friends navigating an increasingly blurred and complex relationship. Following the downfall of Will's brewery, he throws himself into the unpredictable world of a new startup, while Sylvia attempts to revive her career in law—all while juggling family life with a husband who's now out of work. netflix The returning ensemble features Luke Macfarlane, Carla Gallo, Tre Hale, and Andrew Lopez, with guest stars including Aidy Bryant, Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney. A routine cash collection takes a dramatic turn in The Pickup, leading to a high-stakes hostage crisis. Eddie Murphy stars as Russell, a seasoned armoured truck driver, teamed with his wild new colleague Travis, played by Pete Davidson. The pair must think on their feet as they're swept into a dangerous heist orchestrated by the ruthless Zoe (Keke Palmer). With bullets flying and loyalties shifting, survival becomes a question of wit and instinct. The action-comedy also features Eva Longoria, Andrew Dice Clay, Marshawn Lynch, Roman Reigns, Jack Kesy, and Ismael Cruz Córdova. Jenna Ortega reprises her role as Wednesday Addams, who returns to Nevermore Academy to confront a sinister new threat. As her psychic abilities intensify, a chilling serial killer with a twisted obsession with porcelain dolls begins to stalk the school grounds. Joining the cast are Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Lady Gaga, and Joanna Lumley. Ke Huy Quan stars in this action-comedy as Marvin Gable, a former assassin now living a quiet life as a suburban estate agent. However, his peaceful existence is disrupted when a mysterious red envelope arrives—sent by Rose (Ariana DeBose), a dangerous figure from his past, dragging him back into a world he thought he'd left behind. Set in 2054, Mickey 17 follows Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson), a man who volunteers as an Expendable on a mission to colonise the icy planet Niflheim. His role involves being endlessly reprinted and revived after each death. On his seventeenth life, a twist unfolds—Mickey 18 is accidentally reprinted while 17 is still alive. The crew must now contend with a mysterious alien species known as the Creepers, and the existential consequences of duplication.
