Tamannaah Bhatia recently shared a fun and surprising story about her song “Aaj Ki Raat” from Stree 2. In a new interview, the actress revealed that many young kids love the song so much that they eat only when it’s playing. The dance number has become a hit not just with adults but also with toddlers.
The actor spoke to The Lallantop about how her films and songs should connect with people in a meaningful way. She said that her work should never feel like just a job. Instead, she looks for projects that stay with the audience, even if it’s in an unexpected form, like helping kids finish their meals.

Tamannaah was asked which song she was talking about, and she immediately named “Aaj Ki Raat” from Stree 2. She said, “I can\’t tell you the number of mothers that have called me up and said – My child will eat food only if he hears Aaj Ki Raat. Because bacche apne diaper mein aise aise hil rahe hote hai (moves side to side).”
The song features Tamannaah in a glamorous avatar and was made as a bold, high-energy dance number. It became very popular soon after its release. Though the song has a romantic and slightly mature theme, its beat and choreography seem to have made it a favourite among children too.
Tamannaah added, “So be it” – when talking about kids watching her song while eating. For her, what matters most is that her work connects with people, even if it\’s in unexpected ways.
