Actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who has always dazzled the public with her acting prowess, recently engaged in a private discussion. The actress spoke about her profession and the reasons she always wanted to be an actor during her appearance on the fourth season of Woman Up. Tamannaah also discussed body shaming, Women’s Day, dealing with misogyny in the profession, and many other topics.

The actress discussed current instances of misogyny. She added that it’s critical to raise awareness among the younger generation and to teach them that “being like that” is not cool. When questioned if that had happened to her at the start of her career.

Tamannaah responded, “Of course, a lot of it and it still happens. I just feel like as you become a person of power, you start directing your power towards things that actually matter. I refer to myself as a person again and again because I feel like as women, it’s not necessary to constantly say ‘Oh this is a guy’s world and I am a woman in it’, no, I am a person, to begin with and I am a human being, to begin with. So I want to be treated just as you would treat a human being. That’s what I started to do with myself as I came into a position of power, I realised it’s important to put my foot down because I don’t think I will treat any human being like that.”

She continued, “So it was more about a person and that actually cleaned up a lot of ideas of the kind of misogynistic environment we work in and live in, and how do you tackle that because you are in denial if you are not accepting that it exists and it will exist. So the best you can do is tackle…and also create awareness because I feel like the next generation, the kids should know that they don’t need to be like this and that it’s not cool to be like that. There’s a lot of sense of coolness attached to a certain amount of misogyny which I find really strange because a lot of people think it’s cool to be like that. But I think it’s us who need to educate people and say that’s not cool and nice.”

Tamannaah has a long list of films to her name and currently holds a position of authority, but she claimed that misogyny is still a problem. Find out what challenges she faces by asking her.

She revealed, “I think not valuing a woman’s opinion as much as a man’s opinion…so for me, I experience that a lot where I have to really explain myself and say that this is what I think it is. But had it been a male counterpart, that opinion would have been taken much easily. So something as basic as an opinion. I feel like that firm faith that you have in your opinions, you need to stick by that and push your way through and stick your ground.”
