Tamannaah Bhatia Uses ‘Do You Wanna Partner’ Rollout To Spotlight Gender Bias, Laud Karan Johar

She says women are often “seen, not heard” in a glamour-led business.

Overview

  • The Prime Video series premiered on September 12, with Dharmatic Entertainment backing and early reviews praising performances while questioning the writing.
  • The show pairs Bhatia with Diana Penty as entrepreneurs who launch a beer brand and run up against a male-dominated industry.
  • Bhatia urges actors to stop the “pity party” over missed roles and to upskill to stay relevant as opportunities evolve.
  • She praises Karan Johar as warm and welcoming, saying he champions outsiders and consistently crafts nuanced female characters, yet is not credited enough for it.
  • Recounting a patronising hiring encounter she refused to tolerate, Bhatia ties personal experience to the broader challenge of women’s opinions being dismissed.
