Speaking to The Lallantop, Tamannaah said, “So be it. If a child is eating their food while watching my song.” When the host asked which song she was referring to, the actor said “Aaj Ki Raat” and added, “I can’t tell you the number of mothers that have called me up and said, ‘My child will eat food only if he hears Aaj Ki Raat.’ Because bacche apne diaper mein aise aise hil rahe hote hai (moves side to side).”
But when she was questioned about the sensual lyrics of the song and whether that might impact a child, she responded, “Mummyo ka concern hai ki bacche khana kha rahe hai ya nahi? Priorities hote hai. Ek aadh saal mein unko kaunse lyrics samajh mein aayenge (Mothers’ concerns are whether their kids are eating properly or not. There are priorities. What lyrics will they understand at the age of one)? There is music. We forget films, we remember the songs. It’s the fact.”
The song “Aaj Ki Raat”, which revolves around a woman asking her lover to admire her from a distance, turned out to be a massive hit with audiences. Stree 2 also enjoyed tremendous box office success, earning Rs 857.15 crore worldwide. The film starred Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana in key roles. Following “Aaj Ki Raat”, Tamannaah also appeared in the item number “Nasha” from the recent Ajay Devgn-starrer Raid 2.
On the professional front, Tamannaah Bhatia will next be seen in VVAN: Force of the Forest, alongside Sidharth Malhotra. The film is directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar. She also has Ranger in the pipeline, which stars Ajay Devgn.
