Annu Kapoor Sparks Controversy Over Remarks on Tamannaah Bhatia

Veteran actor Annu Kapoor is facing widespread backlash after comments he made about actress Tamannaah Bhatia went viral. During a recent appearance on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, Kapoor reacted to watching a clip of Tamannaah’s song Aaj Ki Raat and described her body as “dudhiya badan” (milky body). He further praised her for helping children sleep with her song, adding blessings for her well-being.

Kapoor said in the interview (paraphrased):
"Our sister is making kids sleep with her song, with her milky face and body. If she is helping our children sleep well, it is a great thing. May God grant her the ability to fulfill any other wishes she may have."

Social Media Backlash
The remarks triggered a strong reaction online, with users criticizing the actor for being inappropriate and vulgar. Comments included:

• "Please be respectful. Don’t you have a daughter or grandchildren?"

• "Wth! This man gives creepy vibes. Such a creep."

• "Apni beti ko bhi aisee hi bologe?" (Will you say this to your own daughter?)

Some viewers called for self-restraint, urging Kapoor to exercise discretion in public remarks.

Context from Tamannaah Bhatia
Earlier this year, Tamannaah responded to being called a “milky beauty” while discussing her role in the supernatural thriller Odela 2. She emphasized that glamour in a woman should be celebrated and that respecting women as divine beings is essential. She remarked that a woman can be glamorous, lethal, and powerful all at once, and that this multifaceted identity deserves recognition.
