During an interview with The Lallantop, Tamannaah firmly set the record straight on the rumours that have shadowed her career for years. She first addressed the speculation surrounding Indian cricketer Kohli, which arose after they appeared together in a mobile phone commercial. Tamannaah was quick to dismiss any romantic connection, stating, “I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day. I have never met Virat after the shoot. Na maine unse baat ki, na unse mili hoon.” She explained that the entire link-up was based on a single, brief professional interaction and expressed her discomfort with such baseless stories.

The actress then moved on to the more outlandish rumors of her secret marriage to former Pakistan cricketer Razzaq. This speculation was fueled by a photograph of the two at a jewelry store event in 2020. Tamannaah, with a mix of amusement and embarrassment, joked about the situation, saying, “Mazaak Mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq!
“The Internet is a fun place. According to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq. I’m sorry sir, aapke dho teen bachche hai (You have 2-3 children). I don’t know about your life, but it was so embarrassing,” She concluded by stating that while it is “very awkward when the media links you to someone you have absolutely no connection with,” she has learned over time that “there’s nothing one can do about it,”
