Tamanna had a crush:-

As a girl, Tamanna had a crush on one of her friend's brother. She revealed this, when she recently spoke her heart out. The actress, however, finds the same "funny" when she remembers it today.She said that she was eager to go to her friend's place to catch a glimpse of her crush. Today, when she is a busy bee, the idea seems ridiculous.
Thus, the Happy Days actress' first and last crush is no longer in her mind. Actresses have long been speaking about their crushes and how, as the time passed by, they have put them behind.In the same way, some actors have confessed about their crushes and how they managed to overcome them.


Tamanna loves Rickshaw ride

White beauty Tamanna is all smiles now. The actress has bagged big banners offers in Kollywood as well as Tollywood. Tamannah will be soon seen opposite Allu Arjun in Badrinath and her latest release Aawara in Tamil version opposite Karthi has become super hit.

Talking about her personal life, “I am not from the filmy background. I am a total home bird and most of my friends are non-industry people. In Mumbai, I am a normal girl who loves to get into a rickshaw and go to the nearby mall for shopping. My dad says that I’m crazy to do so but still do it.”
