Has losing stardom ever been a fear for Tamannaah?

She feels fortunate to see such a high courtesy her hard work.

“So, for me I feel fortunate to see that kind of stardom and continue to see that. But that is not the reason for pursuing this career. It is more of something I do because it gives me a sense of fulfilment on a daily basis so being on the sets is what excites me,” she said.
