She may be a superstar but Tamannaah Bhatia admits that she is a commoner at heart. The idea of a fancy dinner date stresses her out. In a recent appearance on Swipe Ride Season 2 hosted by Kusha Kapila, Tamannaah talked about her dating preferences and even gave advice to someone in the industry. During the conversation, the actor talked about her aversion to fancy dinner dates.
Swipe Ride sees Kusha drive with a celebrity in each episode as they try and give advice to a different person on how to approach their date. The latest episode featured Tamannaah Bhatia, who will soon be seen as a matchmaker in her upcoming Netflix film Plan A Plan B. She joked, “I have a little bit of an experience (in matchmaking) now.” She added, “I have actually had a brief encounter with what matchmaker lives are.”
During the episode, Kusha and Tamannaah were joined by Pranjal, who sought their help with her date. When they discussed ideal settings for a date, Tamannaah said she prefers casual dates in the monsoons. It was raining outside. She said, “Today is actually the kind of day that I would imagine as my kind of a date.” Tamannaah said that she finds fancy dates ‘awkward, and stressful.’
She added, “I can’t do fancy dates. I am very bad with that. I am very awkward with a fancy place. I am someone who has always eaten with my hands. So when you have to really hold a knife and a fork and you have to start doing all that (mimics cutting food with cutlery), I feel it’s too much stress.”
