Tamannaah Bhatia, a well-known face in the entertainment industry, recently found herself at the center of a social media storm after a photoshoot that led to heavy trolling. The actress had posted pictures on her Instagram where she was seen portraying Radha in a campaign, but the photos were not well-received by some netizens.
The outfit she wore in the shoot sparked outrage, leading to intense backlash and accusations of disrespecting religious sentiments. Following the criticism, Tamannaah removed the controversial photos from her account.
The photoshoot in question was part of a campaign designed by popular fashion designer Karan Torani, titled Leela: The Divine Illusion of Love. The campaign aimed to depict various stages of love between Radha and Krishna, with Tamannaah playing the role of Radha. While some fans praised her portrayal of the character and the aesthetic of the shoot, others were deeply offended by her attire, claiming it was inappropriate for such a sacred figure.
The backlash began when several social media users expressed their outrage. One Instagram user posted images from the photoshoot, saying, “Stop sexualising our beloved Radha Rani and the pure relationship between Radha and Krishna for your sales! How dare you disrespect such a holy bond!” Another user shared a video mocking Tamannaah for her outfit, further fueling the negative reactions.
As the trolling escalated, both Tamannaah Bhatia and Karan Torani decided to remove the images from their respective social media accounts. Despite the controversy, neither Tamannaah nor Torani have released any official statements addressing the issue.
This incident highlights the growing scrutiny celebrities face on social media, where any portrayal of religious or cultural symbols can spark heated debates. While the intention behind the campaign may have been artistic, it inadvertently triggered a sensitive response from a section of the audience, leading to a swift backlash.
The actress, known for her performances in Bollywood and South Indian cinema, has not commented publicly on the matter, leaving fans and critics waiting for her official response on the controversy.
