Tamannaah responded to the question with the utmost grace. She said, “Your question has the answer in it. He doesn’t look at ‘Milky Beauty’ as something that is to be shamed or feel bad about. Glamour, in a woman, is to be celebrated. And we women must celebrate ourselves. Then we can expect other people to celebrate us. If we look at us in a certain way then nobody can respect us. Here, we have a wonderful gentleman who doesn’t look at women like that. He looks at women like divine. And divine can be glamorous, lethal, and powerful. A woman can be many-many things."
Tamannaah has always had very strong opinion as a women. On the occasion of Women’s Day on March 8, she had a bold message for her female fans. She told News18 Showsha, “On this Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of every woman. Embrace your strength, challenge societal norms, and let your voice be heard. True empowerment begins when we recognise our worth and support each other’s journey towards equality." Her thoughts reflect her strong views on how women should be perceived and how the community should always stand up for each other.
