“People don’t hire you for being nice” – Tamannaah Bhatia explains why confidence is her biggest weapon

Tamannaah Bhatia opens up about thriving in a male-dominated industry, handling dismissive attitudes, and her upcoming film Do You Wanna Partner releasing on Prime Video tomorrow.

Tamannaah Bhatia, who has made a name for herself across industries, has spoken about how she navigated the male-dominated film industry with confidence and wit. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, she said, “Whenever a man tried to make me feel like I had no final say or no contribution to make, I imagined him in a saree or a very glamorous outfit – and then realized he’d look terrible in it. That reminded me there are things only I can do, and they need me for that. It gave me immense courage to keep doing what I do.”

Tamannaah emphasized that work is not given based on being “nice” but because of what one brings to the table. “People give you work because you contribute something. Putting your thoughts forward eventually works in your favor,” she added.

The actress is now gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Do You Wanna Partner, premiering on Prime Video on September 12, 2025. The film follows best friends Shikha (Tamannaah Bhatia) and Anahita (Diana Penty) as they launch their own craft beer brand, venturing into the competitive start-up world. Directed by Collin D’Cunha and Kumar, the film also stars Javed Jaffrey, Nakuul Mehta, Shweta Tiwari, Neeraj Kabi, Sufi Motiwala, and Rannvijay Singha in key roles.
