Tamannaah Bhatia defends sensual lyrics of ‘Aaj Ki Raat', says babies eat only while dancing to it: ‘Mothers care about baby eating'
Speaking to The Lallantop, Tamannaah said, 'So be it. If a child is eating their food while watching my song.' When the host asked which song she was referring to, the actor said 'Aaj Ki Raat' and added, '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).'
But when she was questioned about the sensual lyrics of the song and whether that might impact a child, she responded, 'Mummyo ka concern hai ki bacche khana kha rahe hai ya nahi? Priorities hote hai. Ek aadh saal mein unko kaunse lyrics samajh mein aayenge (Mothers' concerns are whether their kids are eating properly or not. There are priorities. What lyrics will they understand at the age of one)? There is music. We forget films, we remember the songs. It's the fact.'
The song 'Aaj Ki Raat', which revolves around a woman asking her lover to admire her from a distance, turned out to be a massive hit with audiences. Stree 2 also enjoyed tremendous box office success, earning Rs 857.15 crore worldwide. The film starred Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana in key roles. Following 'Aaj Ki Raat', Tamannaah also appeared in the item number 'Nasha' from the recent Ajay Devgn-starrer Raid 2.
On the professional front, Tamannaah Bhatia will next be seen in VVAN: Force of the Forest, alongside Sidharth Malhotra. The film is directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar. She also has Ranger in the pipeline, which stars Ajay Devgn.

Tamannaah on beauty procedures: Easy to judge people in media glare
Actor Tamannaah Bhatia, in an exclusive conversation with The Lallantop, discussed beauty treatments and public judgment surrounding them. Her comments come amid extensive talk on female actors opting for beauty treatments against the backdrop of television actor Shefali Jariwala's 35-year-old actor bluntly stated these conversations wouldn't have happened had it been about a person from any other industry. She added that it is easier to judge people who are in the media bhi cheez filmon me hoti hai ya film ke related logo se hoti hai ya entertainment ke related logo se hoti hai, wo charcha me aa jati hai. Log usko judge karne lag jate hai (Whatever happens in films or with people related to films or with people related to entertainment, it comes into discussion. People start judging it)," she expressed. On being labelled as flag bearers of beauty, she responded, "People need to understand that it is very easy to talk about people who are in the media glare. Because you know about their lives. There are so many people whose lives you don't know anything about, and you will never know also...""In baton ke baare me hum bas charcha kar sakte hai. Isse hum kahi pahuchte nahi hai. (We can only discuss these things. This will not get us anywhere). I don't know how conclusive they are," she then expressed that beauty treatments like Botox are no longer a taboo topic. "Gen-Z kids are quite open about it. Jo bhi process karate hai, (whatever procedure they undergo), they are open about it," Bhatia shared. Lastly, the 'Baahubali' actor concluded, "Koi bhi judgement ke through guzarna nahi chahta. Wo kuch kahenge to unpe ungliya uthengi. (No one wants to go through judgment. If they say anything, fingers will be pointed at them.) There is a lot of judgment on people who are in films. Wo shayad comfortable nahi hai apne life me baare me share karne ke liye. (Maybe they are probably not comfortable sharing their life)."For the unaware, Shefali Jariwala was found dead at her residence on the night of June 27. Police officials found two boxes containing tablets and vials of anti-ageing medication (Glutathione) and skin glow medications at her residence. While preliminary reports said a cardiac arrest caused her death, sources close to the investigation suggest a far more troubling reason: a cocktail of anti-ageing injections, allegedly self-administered while she was led to heightened focus on the use of beauty treatments by celebrities, especially female actors, in the film Jariwala first rose to fame with her performance in the 90s dance number 'Kaanta Laga'. She later participated in various Hindi reality shows, including 'Bigg Boss 13' and 'Nach Baliye', among others.- Ends

Kishore Kumar AI Version Of Saiyaara Takes Internet by Storm; Fans Call It More Soulful Than Original
Last Updated: Kishore Kumar's AI-generated version of Saiyaara goes viral online. Fans call it nostalgic, soulful—some even say it's better than the original. The chart-topping title track of Saiyaara has already cemented its place as a musical phenomenon. But now, a fan-made AI-generated version featuring the legendary voice of Kishore Kumar has added a nostalgic twist to the viral wave. Set against visuals of Rimjhim Gire Sawan, the AI cover has taken social media by storm, sparking debate over creativity, ethics, and authenticity in the age of artificial intelligence. The edit juxtaposes Kishore Kumar's recreated vocals with the classic rainy Mumbai visuals of Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee from the 1970s hit—creating a surreal time-travel moment for music lovers. Somebody made AI based Kishore Kumar version of Saiyaara title songGood effort with retro style rhythm arrangement.. sounds better than original.. yet not even 10% of the power, energy, vibrancy, voice, singing of what KK cud have achieved.. — Keh Ke Peheno (@coolfunnytshirt) August 2, 2025 Online, the video has stirred both admiration and skepticism. 'This is so soothing, at first I thought the Saiyaara song was rewritten," commented one user on X. Another gushed, 'The edit is really good, even better than the original." A third added bluntly, 'India literally lost real creators in music industry." But not everyone was sold. While many applauded the technical finesse, die-hard Kishore Kumar fans pushed back, calling the AI voice a pale imitation of the original. 'Only true Kishore fans will not go 'wow' on this video effort. The original song + the video is a masterpiece. None can replace them even if may seem perfect fit for some noobs," one post read. Another critic added, 'Good effort with retro-style rhythm arrangement… sounds better than original… yet not even 10% of the power, energy, vibrancy, voice, singing of what KK could have achieved." This online buzz comes on the heels of Saiyaara's historic global run. The Faheem Abdullah-sung ballad recently became the first Hindi song to top Spotify's Global Viral 50 chart, and also entered Spotify's Top 10 worldwide—a rare feat for a Bollywood track. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film has crossed ₹250 crore at the box office, and the song—composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami—has played a pivotal role in its cultural dominance. view comments First Published: August 03, 2025, 19:25 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Often, luxury is something we witness in the lives of every Bollywood actor. From expensive cars to extravagant homes, one will find everything in the lives of B-town celebs. However, do you know who is the miser actor among all the famous faces of the showbiz industry? If not, then keep scrolling to unravel this mystery. Bollywood's Miser Actor is… Where, on one hand, celebs would want to have a chauffeur-driven car or handbags worth lakhs, this actor lost a superhit movie after negotiating over a lakh or two. If you are wondering who this star is, then let us tell you we are talking about none other than Chunky Panday. Rajiv Rai's Shocking Claim on Chunky Panday Film director Rajiv Rai, who directed Gupt, recently opened up about Chunky Panday. He revealed that he wanted to cast Panday in some superhit movies. However, because of the negotiations over a lakh or two, the deal never closed, and hence Chunky and he never worked together. Rai said that he wanted Chunky for his film Tridev. Rajiv Rai revealed to Siddharth Kannan that he had initially approached Chunky Panday for Tridev, but the actor lost the role due to a dispute over Rs 1–2 lakh. Sharing the incident, he said, 'I went to Chunky Panday's house 20–25 times for Tridev. He's a very nice person, but every time, he would start negotiating for an extra Rs 1–2 lakh. I got tired of it. He genuinely wanted to do the film, but he kept insisting on a higher fee, so I ended up casting someone else. It's just his habit—he's miserly by nature.' Meanwhile, Chunky is considered one of the biggest stars of his time, and today he owns Rs 160 crore as his net worth.
