Rakhi Sawant takes a harsh dig at actress Tamannaah Bhatia, says, ‘Jab inka heroine wala…’
Rakhi Sawant has sparked buzz yet again, this time by calling out Tamannaah Bhatia for her growing presence in item songs.
A recent round of Bollywood chatter has stirred up over headline-grabbing comments from actor‑dancer Rakhi Sawant. The outspoken personality has taken aim at actress Tamannaah Bhatia, critiquing her shift toward glamor‑song appearances after her early career attempts at lead roles. While major names typically steer clear of public spats like this, Rakhi’s remarks have reignited debates around typecasting and career choices in the film industry.
What did Rakhi Sawant say?
In an interview, Rakhi said, “Yeh log hum log ko dekh‑dekh kar item song karna seekh gaye. Yeh pehle heroine banna chahte the, jab inka heroine mein career nahi chala, toh inhone humare pet par laat maar ke, item song karne lag gaye. Sharam karo! OG toh hum hi hain.” Her comments pointed directly at Tamannaah’s growing work in high‑profile item numbers, suggesting the actress adopted the genre only after her stint as a mainstream lead didn’t hit the mark.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s take on becoming the item song queen
Tamannaah Bhatia, however, has embraced the “item song queen” tag with some of Bollywood’s major dance numbers. Her hot‑ticket tracks include “Aaj Ki Raat” from Stree 2, which has gone viral with hundreds of millions of views. She also features in “Nasha” from Raid 2 and the chartbuster “Kaavaalaa” from Thalaivar Rajinikanth’s Jailer, further solidifying her name in the category. Her transition into this space has been seen as savvy by many, but for Rakhi, who rose to fame on item song hits herself, the move feels more like imitation.
