Actor Tammannah Bhatia talked about the recognition that came with her hit dance number ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ from ‘Stree 2’. She said in an exclusive with The Lallantop that several mothers told her that their child would eat food only if they heard the song.

The ‘Baahubali’ actor said, “I can’t tell you the number of mothers that have called me 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 (Because kids in their diaper move).”

The actor was also asked by an audience member how she feels when she is recognised for her dance numbers over her films. To which, she responded, “I get a lot of love for different work. As an actor, the reality of the matter is aapka jo aakhiri kaam hota hai, log aapko ussi se yaad karte hai (People remember you from your last work). Incidentally, that was my last work. But before that, I had done 100 films. People might not about that as much. But I know I am doing more films and I will do more films.”

“Maybe it is a way for me to understand that I need to work on myself, choose more powerful characters and do more profound films. I take it as a learning,” she added.

The 35-year-old said the work of an actor is to work and leave the rest to the audience. “I feel ek artist ka kaam hota hai kaam karna aur wo logo me chodh dena. Agar logo ne kisi cheez ko Zada notice kiya hai aur kisi cheez ko kam notice kiya hai, isme logo ki koi mistake nahi hai. (I feel that the job of an artist is to do his work and then to make people aware of it. If people have noticed something more or have noticed something less, then it is not the fault of the people), she stated.

Bhatia also mentioned how she receives a lot of love for her performance in ‘Babli Bouncer’. “Bahut se log aate hai aur bolte hai humne film dekhi aur hume bahut pasand hai, aapka kirdaar usme bahut achha hai (Many people come and say we have seen the film, and we liked it very much, your character is very good in it),” she shared.

‘Babli Bouncer’ premiered on JioHotstar in September 2022. In the film, Bhatia played the role of a street-smart woman who becomes a bouncer at a nightclub.

‘Aaj Ki Raat’, on the other hand, continues to be a chartbuster. The dance number from the horror comedy film ‘Stree 2’ has amassed over 700 million views on YouTube.
