Tamannaah Bhatia says her sensational Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2 is now a food-time favourite among toddlers.
Tamannaah Bhatia opens up about how children enjoy her hit song ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ from Stree 2.
It’s rare that a film song becomes a part of a child’s daily routine—but that’s exactly what Tamannaah Bhatia revealed in a candid chat with The Lallantop. For her, selecting films isn’t just about career—it’s about how deeply a project can resonate with audiences. And sometimes, that impact comes not from the story, but the music.
Discussing how she picks her work, Tamannaah said that it has to mean more than entertainment—it must affect lives. “So be it”, she added, if a child insists on hearing her song while eating.
When her host asked which track she meant, she smiled and named Aaj Ki Raat, her playful dance number from Stree 2. She explained how it became a ritual of sorts: not for the kids, but for their mothers. “I can’t tell you the number of mothers that have called me up and said, ‘My child will eat food only if he hears Aaj Ki Raat’. Because bacche apne diaper mein aise aise hil rahe hote hai”, she laughed.
That led to a deeper point—mums worry whether their child is eating. Tamannaah added, “Mummyo ka concern hai ki bacche khana kha rahe hai ya nahi? Priorities hote hai. Ek aadh saal mein unko kaunse lyrics samajh mein aayenge? There is music. We forget films, we remember the songs. It’s the fact.”
The song Aaj Ki Raat is a bold, sensual dance number from Stree 2, portraying a woman setting her ground — telling her lover to admire from afar. Tamannaah’s performance helped make it a standout track, loved by fans well beyond the film.
Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, features Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana. It went on to gross Rs 900 crore in 2024 — one of the year’s biggest successes.
Meanwhile, Tamannaah is now preparing for VVAN: Force of the Forest, directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar. Starring opposite Sidharth Malhotra, the film is a mythology-rooted thriller set deep in Central India. It’s scheduled to release on May 15 next year.
