Tamannaah Bhatia Gets Emotional Filming Vvaan’s Chhathi Maiya Song
Tamannaah Bhatia is acting in a film called Vvaan.
One song in the movie shows people celebrating Chhath Puja.
Tamannaah grew up in Mumbai and had seen large crowds at Juhu Beach, but she did not know much about the festival’s traditions.
While filming, she learned that some devotees fast without water for 36 hours.
She also learned that the festival honors both the rising and setting Sun.
The scene made her feel emotional, so she started welling up.
She said films are meant to make people feel something.
She hopes the song will be remembered during Chhath celebrations in the future.
