Basil Joseph, the Malayalam actor and director famous for his diverse roles and comedy, is making the news again on the internet. This time, it isn’t focused on his films, but for his fandom of actress Tamannaah Bhatia. A simple act of Basil following a fan account of Tamannaah unleashed reactions across all social media.
Tamannaah Bhatia has been a known name in South Indian cinema for several years, but it seems Bollywood is now taking her in again to some extent over the last year or so. From her roles in Hindi films in the mainstream, to her films on OTT platforms, Tamannaah Bhatia has established a position for herself where she resonates with the Indian nation regardless of who she works with. With her ability to bring glamour to her performances, in addition to her colossal screen presence, she is one of the most loved actress in the film industry today.
For a multitude of fans, Basil’s act of following a Tamannaah fan account resonates with them. Many users on social media platforms remarked that it was quite relatable to observe a popular actor in the Malayalam film industry publicly express admiration for an actress with a massive following across the nation. Some people praised him for his honesty and openness, and others jokingly made memes and captions to have some fun with him.
The major takeaway here is the phenomenon is all in good fun unlike previous exchanges, which stemmed from criticism of Basil. Basil is quite laid back and at that point didn’t even realize he was doing what many Tamannaah fans were likely feeling. And in these times when social media and celebrity interactions go viral, even the smallest thing can spark a conversation.
As Basil Joseph makes news in an unexpected moment of fandom, one thing is certain-Tamannaah Bhatia continues to bring together audiences and celebrities alike with her charms as an entertainer-on screen and off!
