Earlier, Avinash, who shared the screen with actress
Tamannaah Bhatia in the streaming movie ‘Sikandar Ka Muqaddar’, had recollected
his earliest memory of meeting the actress. The actor shared that he met
Tamannaah for the first time when she was in 9th standard.
Avinash revealed, “I don’t know if many of you know this,
but I met Tamannaah for the first time when she was in 9th grade. I had just
finished my 12th standard, wanting to pursue acting, and attended an acting
workshop. I was quite young compared to the others there, but little did I know
that someone even younger than me was also attending, and that was Tamannaah.
Even back then, she had a remarkable presence”.
“Years passed, and when I saw her in films, I wasn’t sure
if she was the same person I met at the workshop. But now, meeting again on
set, my first impression of her was that she was incredibly warm and it made
working together so much easier”, he added.
