New Delhi: 'Ideas Of India Summit', a series of ABP Network events, has entered its third edition with Day 2 of the insightful summit kickstarting on February 23. The two-day conclave will feature prominent figures from several fields. Pan-Indian actress Tamannaah Bhatia's session stands out as a highlight of the event, offering attendees a rare opportunity to delve into her film choices and more. She spoke about his session titled ‘So Many Cinemas - Tamannaah's Pan India Triumph’.
In a session moderated by Ananta Natha Jha, Tamannaah Bhatia spoke about her journey from 'Baahubali' to 'Babli Bouncer'.
Addressing a question about changing her name’s spelling, Tamannaah revealed, "When I was really young, I don’t know how I had this clarity of becoming an actor. Later, I happened to meet someone and he said if I can add an extra A and an extra H, then it would be better.”
Tamannaah shared her perspective on the evolving landscape of entertainment consumption. She said, "It’s a mere format of consumption. If they wanted to consume films, they can watch on OTT, on their phone or wherever they want," she stated in an interview.
Reflecting on her journey in the industry, Tamannaah noted the shift from theatre to digital platforms, stating, "I don't have a preference. When I started my career, it was only celluloid. So, if you wanted to experience a movie, you only had to go to the film theatre to experience it. Today, you're not restricted to that."
In a candid moment, she also opened up about her deepest fears, highlighting the fear of mortality. "Mortality is something I wish someday we as human beings learn how to embrace and not get scared of. Because I am very scared of losing my parents and my loved ones. Seeing people go is not easy,” she shared.
