Dismissing these claims as 'fake and misleading,' the actress assured that she would take 'appropriate action' against the spread of such false news. 

Tamannaah Bhatia's statement

Tamannaah released a statement addressing the rumours, clarifying her stance on the allegations. She stated, "It has come to my attention that rumours are being circulated alleging my involvement and dealing with cryptocurrency. I’d like to request my friends in media not to circulate any such fake, misleading, and false reports and rumours.” 

Further elaborating on the matter, Tamannaah said that her team is exploring legal measures against the baseless accusations. "In the meantime, my team is looking into the same to initiate appropriate action," she added. 

The cryptocurrency fraud case 

On Friday, several reports emerged claiming that Tamannaah Bhatia and fellow actress Kajal Aggarwal might be called in for questioning regarding an alleged cryptocurrency scam. According to 123Telugu, a Puducherry resident named Ashokan lodged a complaint with the local police, alleging that a Coimbatore-based company had defrauded him and 10 others of ₹2.4 crore by persuading them to invest in a cryptocurrency scheme. 

Ashokan stated that he was invited to the company's launch event in 2022, where Tamannaah was present. Additionally, another event in Mahabaleshwar, which featured Kajal Aggarwal, was also linked to the fraudulent scheme. The report further suggested that the authorities were seeking clarification from the two actresses. However, no official confirmation has been provided by the police regarding their involvement or any summons being issued. 

Tamannaah’s upcoming projects 

On the work front, Tamannaah was last seen in the Netflix film Sikandar Ka Mukaddar, starring alongside Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Sheirgill. She is currently gearing up for the release of Odela 2, a horror thriller where she portrays the role of a sadhvi.
