Back from the breezy hills of Ooty to the buzz of Mumbai, Tamannaah Bhatia says she missed the high-paced energy of the city. The actor, who has spent her two decade career navigating the evolving landscape of Indian showbiz, shares that she is currently in the happiest phase of her life, thanks to the kind of opportunities coming her way. One that she is most looking forward to is the Netflix series, Daring Partners, alongside Diana Penty, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Nakuul Mehta. The series follows two best friends who venture into a partnership for an alcohol start-up while navigating challenges and breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry.

While the streaming date is yet to be confirmed, Bhatia is confident that Daring Partners will première this year. “I have attempted long format before too, but this show has been extremely close to my heart,” she says, adding that the role demanded significant homework. “While it is in the fun and entertaining space, it still has a strong emotional connect. Back in the day, sitcoms had a different charm. I have not seen much of that in the OTT space. The content has either become too serious or too frivolous. This show will potentially [fill that void] where you are entertained as well as moved by something,” says Bhatia.
