Tamannaah Bhatia is all over the news, both because of her personal life and her professional endeavors. On a personal front, the actress recently shared that she met the man of her dreams. And he is none other than actor Vijay Varma. Both met on the sets of Lust Stories 2 and immediately became close to each other.
Speaking about her professional front, she recently made headlines with her newest show, Jee Karda. The show is presently airing on several OTT platforms and has garnered a lot of attention. But mostly, its passionate scenes, particularly those involving Suhail Nayyar and Tamannaah, generated the most buzz.

Lavanya, represented by Tamannaah in Jee Karda, is dealing with the difficulties of her engagement to Rishabh (played by Suhail). While she was heavily praised for her acting prowess, she also received substantial criticism for her intimate scenes. The matter became so big that she recently addressed all the complaints.

“These scenes are very instrumental in order to tell the journeys of these people. So, in no capacity, these are there to titillate or grab eyeballs. Especially when you show a relationship drama, this is such an important aspect of it because it is the truth. Whether people like it or not, this is how it is.”
Tamannaah further commended Suhail for his professionalism and for making her feel at ease during these scenes. Their collaboration allowed them to seamlessly embody the personas of Lavanya and Rishabh.
“Suhail was someone who really made me feel comfortable. There was really no resistance from Suhail or me to kind of get into Lavanya and Rishabh (their characters).”
Tamannaah referred to the show’s director as an “intimacy instructor”
Referring to Arunima Sharma as an “intimacy instructor,” Tamannaah acknowledged her role in guiding and facilitating these scenes with care. She emphasized Lavanya and Rishabh’s profound familiarity and understanding, implying that even in casual settings, their bond was apparent as if they were one cohesive unit. Tamannaah said,
“I think we both understood that these people know each other in a way that maybe in their lives, nobody else would know them so deeply, so the physicality of us even in a non-intimate scene was as if we were like one unit.”
