Renowned Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia has finally addressed the persistent and bizarre rumours linking her to former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq, calling the speculation “baseless and embarrassing.”
In a recent interview with an Indian media outlet, Tamannaah opened up about how a harmless photograph taken during a 2020 jewellery store event spiraled into full-blown gossip about her supposed marriage to Razzaq.
“Mazaak mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq,” she quipped. “The internet is a fun place. According to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq.”
She called the rumour ’embarrassing’ and went on to apologise to the Pakistani cricketer with folded hands.
“I’m sorry sir. Aapke do teen bachche hain (You have two or three children). I don’t know about your life, but it was so embarrassing,” she said candidly.

The actress expressed both amusement and discomfort over how quickly misinformation spreads in the digital age.
She also acknowledged that this wasn’t her first brush with such unfounded rumours involving cricketers.
Back in 2010, Tamannaah Bhatia was briefly linked to Virat Kohli after the two appeared together in a commercial. Tamannaah, however, was quick to shut that down as well.
“I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day. I have never met Virat after the shoot,” she clarified.
As for Abdul Razzaq, the former all-rounder, who played his last international game for Pakistan in 2013, has stayed connected to the game in a coaching capacity.
Earlier this year, he was appointed by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi to lead the Pakistan Strike Force training camp.
The initiative focuses on refining modern-day power-hitting and batting skills for both domestic and international players.
