Born into a Sindhi Hindu family, Tamannaah is the daughter of Santosh Bhatia, a diamond merchant, and Rajni Bhatia, a homemaker. She has one elder brother, Anand Bhatia, who is a doctor. She attended Maneckji Cooper Education Trust School in Mumbai.

At the age of 13, she began her journey in the performing arts. She joined the Prithvi Theatre for a year, where she participated in various stage performances. It was during this time that she decided to pursue acting professionally. She initially used her given name, Tamanna, but later changed it to "Tamannaah" for numerological reasons after she began her film career. She is also known for being fluent in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Tamannaah made her acting debut at the age of 15 with the Hindi film Chand Sa Roshan Chehra (2005). However, the film did not perform well at the box office. The same year, she entered the Telugu film industry with Sree and made her Tamil debut with Kedi (2006).

Her career saw a significant turnaround in 2007 with two successful college-based films: Happy Days in Telugu and Kalloori in Tamil. Her performances as a college student in both films earned her critical acclaim and established her as a leading actress in the South. Over the next few years, she starred in several commercial hits, including the Tamil films Ayan (2009) and Paiyaa (2010), and the Telugu romantic drama Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam (2009), which earned her a Filmfare Award nomination.

In 2011, Tamannaah starred in 100% Love, a romantic comedy that became one of the biggest commercial successes of the year in Telugu cinema and won her the CineMAA Award for Best Actress. This period also saw her successfully star in big-budget films like Racha (2012) and Veeram (2014). She also made a return to Hindi cinema with Himmatwala (2013) and Humshakals (2014).

Tamannaah’s role as the fierce warrior princess Avanthika in S.S. Rajamouli's epic fantasy film, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), propelled her to a new level of stardom. The film's massive success across India and internationally brought her widespread recognition and a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Saturn Awards. She reprised her role in the sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), which solidified her status as a pan-Indian star.

Since then, she has continued to take on diverse roles, starring in films like the comedy F2: Fun and Frustration (2019) and the action-thriller Jailer (2023). She has also ventured into the digital space, starring in a number of web series and anthology films such as Lust Stories 2 (2023).
