Annu Kapoor faces backlash over lewd remarks on Tamannaah Bhatia’s ‘milky body’ comment – Watch video
Well, Bollywood and Bollywood superstars are known for their controversies, be it with any incident or any of their statements! And this time, veteran actor Annu Kapoor is in the spotlight. During a recent interview with YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra, the actor made a comment about actress Tamannaah Bhatia that has sparked widespread criticism across social media.
The conversation began when the host mentioned Tamannaah’s popular song Aaj Ki Raat and asked Kapoor if he liked the track and admired the actress. The actor, visibly excited, responded, “Mashallah kya dudhiya badan hai (Oh my god, what milky body she has).”
The host then reminded him of Tamannaah’s earlier statement, where she joked that children fall asleep listening to Aaj Ki Raat. Kapoor turned that into yet another controversial comment, saying, “Kitne umar ke baache so jaate hain… 70 saal ke umar ka bhi bachca ho sakta hai na, main hota toh puchta ke kitne umar ke so jaate hain. Angreezi mein bolte hain that he is 70 years old, woh 70 saal purana bacha hai… And he is 11 year 11-year-old budha (Kids of which age sleep? A 70-year-old can also be a kid. I would have asked this question to her).”
What else did Annu Kapoor say about Tamannaah Bhatia?
Kapoor didn’t stop there. He went on to make further remarks that many found distasteful, saying, “Behen, apne gaane se, aapne shareer se, apne dudhiya chehre se humare bacchun ko sulti hain… Bahut achi baat hai.. Desh ke upar kripa hogi agar humare desk ke bacch achi aur swasthya neend soyein. Agar aur bhi kuch ichain hain toh bhagwan unko samarth karre ke unki ichchan puri hun (Our sister is making kids sleep with her song, with her milky face and body, it’s very good for the nation if our children sleep peacefully. If she has other wishes, may God give her the power to fulfil them.)”
While Kapoor seemed to pass it off as humour, netizens didn’t find it funny. His remarks quickly went viral, drawing sharp criticism from fans and followers alike.

How did the internet react to his remarks?
Social media platforms were flooded with reactions calling out Kapoor’s words as “vulgar,” “creepy,” and “sexist.” One user commented, “Please be respectful. Don’t you have a daughter or grandchildren?” while another wrote, “What kind of language is that?”
A few others went harsher, with comments like “Apni beti ko bhi aisee hi bologe (Will you say this to your own daughter?)” and “Control Annu Sahab, control.”
It’s not the first time Kapoor’s remarks have stirred controversy — his blunt, sometimes insensitive comments have often divided public opinion.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s take on the ‘Milky Beauty’ label
Tamannaah herself has previously spoken about being called a “milky beauty,” a term she feels has been misused to judge her. During the promotions of her upcoming film Odela 2, she shared her perspective:
“You are saying milky beauty but why you looked at a milky beauty and thought that she can’t be a Shiva Shakti? Your question has the answer in it. He [Ashok Teja] does not look at milky beauty that is to be ashamed of or feel bad about. Glamour in a woman is to be celebrated, and we women must celebrate ourselves. Then we can expect other people to celebrate us.”
She further added, “Here we have a wonderful gentleman [Ashok Teja] who does not look at women like that. He looks at women like divine. Divine can be glamorous, lethal, and powerful. A woman can be many, many things.”
Tamannaah was last seen in the web show Do You Wanna Partner, where she played a woman launching her own beer startup.
The recent controversy has once again sparked discussion about the way female actors are spoken about in public spaces, even by industry veterans. While Kapoor’s intent may have been humorous, his words have opened up a serious debate about respect, boundaries, and the objectification of women in showbiz.
Highlights:
- Annu Kapoor drew backlash for making “lewd” remarks about Tamannaah Bhatia during a YouTube interview.
- Netizens slammed the actor for his comments, calling them disrespectful and inappropriate.
- Tamannaah earlier spoke about embracing her glamour while rejecting objectification.
