At the star-studded Glam Up Fest 2025 hosted by Flipkart in Mumbai, actor Tamannaah Bhatia not only dazzled the red carpet in a stunning white gown but also delivered a thoughtful and timely reflection on how the very concept of fame is evolving in today’s digital age.
While speaking at the event, Tamannaah shared her views on how the lines between actors, influencers, and celebrities are increasingly blurring — and why that’s something to celebrate rather than compete against. She said, “You know what I love, what I truly love, that I am an actor, that is my first entry into being a public figure, but what I love being in the times today, that it is democratizing the ability to be an influencer, the ability to be a celebrity, see today it’s not, I didn’t have a background, I made my way up and became an actor, and reach people’s hearts, but for people who don’t want to be actors, who are not largely performers or actors, today they also can be celebrities, influencers and can put their voice across to people which actually helps people.”
In an era where social media and digital platforms have reshaped the landscape of public influence, her perspective struck a resonant chord. She added “So I love the fact that we’re democratizing it, I don’t actually feel competitive, I feel what is the point of all if there is no community building. This time and age is actually giving us a chance as human beings to create communities, and it is our responsibility as an actor, as a film personality to actually support that because it brings a lot of livelihood to a lot of people. And I think a lot of people deserve that, this is the great opportunity to do that.”
Tamannaah’s words highlight a significant cultural shift — where influence is no longer the exclusive domain of film stars, and digital creators are building their own empires with authenticity, talent, and connection. She also underscored the importance of community over competition, suggesting that building platforms where others can thrive is not just a choice, but a responsibility.
In a space focused on beauty and glamour, Tamannaah brought something even more beautiful to the table — a sense of solidarity and a reminder that in 2025, stardom is no longer about standing apart, but about standing together.
