Hyderabad: Actor Tamannaah Bhatia found herself the target of trolls after she was seen performing in the intimate scenes in Lust Stories 2. The actor is perplexed by the stark misogynistic remarks directed at her and questions why audiences are quick to criticize the morality of a female actor being sexual on screen while male actors perform worse and go on to become superstars.
In an interview, Tamannaah did not hold back when she called out the hypocrisy. She also noted that it is odd that a female actor playing an intimate scene permits people to make derogatory remarks. She continued by saying that male actors often receive praise and applause for portraying abusive roles or engaging in intimate scenes, whereas when a female actor does the same, she is portrayed negatively.
Tamannaah has always played glamorous roles since the start of her career. She said that she could have stayed in her comfort zone and continued to do the stereotypical commercial roles, but she preferred to advance her acting career. She further stated that the current Indian film industry is creating content that is viewed all around the world.
