Tamannaah Bhatia, one of Bollywood’s beloved actresses, recently found herself at the center of a social media storm. After sharing a series of photos on Instagram, where she portrayed the divine figure of Radharani for a photoshoot, she faced heavy trolling. These pictures were part of a campaign for a luxury clothing brand, but they sparked anger among some users, leading Tamannaah to delete all her posts related to the photoshoot.
Why Did Tamannaah Get Trolled?
The photoshoot, themed around “Krishna Leela,” was conducted for fashion designer Karan Torani’s brand, Torani Fashion. The campaign was titled “Leela – The Divine Illusion of Love,” and featured different moments from the stories of Lord Krishna and Radharani. While many appreciated Tamannaah’s graceful appearance, others were upset, feeling that the portrayal was inappropriate.
Tamannaah, who expressed her excitement about the project, described the photoshoot as one of the best in her 18-year career. However, a section of social media users were not pleased. They believed that the representation of the sacred bond between Lord Krishna and Radharani was shown in a wrong way. Some critics also expressed displeasure with the outfit designs, claiming that the religious characters were not portrayed respectfully.
Negative Comments Flooded In
People from across the platform shared their outrage, linking the photoshoot to their religious sentiments. One angry user commented, “How dare you show a holy relationship like this? This is wrong!” Another person criticized the brand for using divine figures to promote their clothing line, saying, “Stop using religion to sell your clothes!”
As the backlash grew, the negative comments overshadowed the positive responses. Many users were deeply offended by the way the photoshoot was conceptualized and styled, making it a topic of controversy across social media.
Photos Deleted from Instagram
In response to the heavy trolling, Tamannaah Bhatia removed all the photos from her social media accounts. Not only Tamannaah, but the fashion designer, Karan Torani, also deleted all related posts from his own account. It appears that the trolling became too intense, prompting them both to take down the content.

The Details of the Photoshoot
Despite the criticism, the photoshoot was a beautiful and creative effort to depict the story of Radharani. The photoshoot was set in a location resembling the streets and gardens of Vrindavan, with intricate details like a lotus bindi on Tamannaah’s forehead and a design of lotus feet on her soles. Her look was praised by many for its elegance and creativity. However, the backlash overshadowed the positive elements of the campaign.
Tamannaah, in her original post, had mentioned how special this photoshoot was to her. She described it as the highlight of her career, but due to the religious backlash, the entire project had to be removed from public view.
