Tamannaah Bhatia talks about her songs Aaj Ki Raat and Kaavaalaa.

Tamannaah Bhatia has been on a roll since her two dance numbers, “Aaj Ki Raat” from Stree 2 and “Kavaalaa” from Jailer released. The actor was praised by the audience for her charm and moves in the songs. Ahead of the release of her new film, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, Tamannaah was joined by her co-stars Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill in the second edition of SCREEN LIVE, which is one of the flagship events of the newly relaunched SCREEN, the one-stop shop for quality journalism in Indian entertainment space.

During the candid conversation, Tamannaah revealed that she took her sweet time to make the decision of doing the song “Aaj Ki Raat” from Amar Kaushik’s Stree 2, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. She shared, “It took me a minute to figure out whether I want to do Aaaj Ki Raat or not because I just had a song (Kaavaalaa) that came out.”

The actor went on to share that back then, she felt that she could have given a better shot to the Rajinikanth starrer’s track. “To be honest, I really felt that I hadn’t given Kaavaalaa my best. I felt like I could have done something better. When Aaj Ki Raat came along, Amar explained the whole story to me and said that I have to play and dance like Shama. He said, ‘You are playing a character, this is not going to be just another song.’ That gave me a little bit of food for thought, because I was like, ‘Yes, I can play this differently,'” she said.

Tamannaah Bhatia also shared that she never imagined that “Aaj Ki Raat” would be this successful and receive so much love from the audience. She added, “But definitely, there was no imagination of what’s happening right now. I could not have imagined that this would be the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. I thought it would be like just a song that people would like. Nobody can imagine how much. So, I think I am blessed to get so much love from you guys.”

Senior advocate Sibal argued that the recommendation was unconstitutional and would set a dangerous precedent. The inquiry panel found Varma guilty of misconduct for controlling storeroom with large amount of undisclosed cash.
