Tamannaah Bhatia is an established and very popular actress in South also she has good work in Bollywood too. When the actress spoke out against South director Suraaj for passing derogatory remarks about female actors in cinema, she outraged at him.
Tamannaah Bhatia, in an interview shared her views on sexism established in film industry, "I called out on a director who I was working with and whose film was about to release. It wasn't a happy moment for me, especially when it was somebody I had worked with twice. However, I just hand to stand up not just for myself but everybody who looks up to actresses and women. I felt that I had to stand up and say that women are not going to sit quietly and take shit."
She continued, "The problem is that some men are sexist, but they are not even aware of it. They are ignorant, they think that it's normal to look at women in a certain way and talk about them in a certain way. And, that's what scares me."
The actress who was criticized for her role in Baahubali said, "It's natural for different people to perceive the film differently. Everybody had an opinion and I respect everybody's opinion. If I constantly worry about landing myself in a controversy, how will I concentrate on my work? You can't obsess over what people are going to think as the biggest impediment in fulfilling one's dream is the `log kya kahenge' syndrome. I have stopped thinking about log kya kahenge."
