Tamannaah Bhatia in an interview talks about her career in south industry, Hindi cinema and more...

Tamannaah Bhatia
Making her screen debut at the age of 15 and becoming a star in the south film industry before finding space in Hindi cinema which prepared Tamannaah Bhatia about the fickle nature of fame. Born and raised in Mumbai, the actor made her debut with the 2005 Telugu film Sri, followed by her Tamil film "Kedi". She achieved success two years later, with "Happy Days" and "Kalloori".
"I grew up really fast. I was a sorted and mature individual at that age. I had a strong will to be an actor. I set out to become an actor, ended up being a heroine. I've realised stardom is beyond you, it isn't something you can control. With the kind of extremely loyal fans I have from the south, I feel lucky," she told PTI. Being driven as a teenager, Tamannaah learned Tamil and Telugu. "I don't know if I'll be able to learn two new languages today but when I was 15, I was keen on learning Tamil and Telugu. I would refuse to take prompting on the sets and insisted I learn the language." Navigating an industry almost alien to her made Tamannaah realise the uncertainty of the business.
