Tamanna sings Haathi aaya zhoom ke
Tamanna lives in Gurgaon with her parents, elder sister Anjali and brother Mayank. Tamanna's father, Vazirchand Manjonka was a landless farm labourer in Bhattu village, Fatehabad district, Haryana. Twenty years ago, he came to Delhi and worked as a domestic help. He learned to drive a car and now works as a car driver in Gurgaon.
When Tamanna was six months old, she fell ill and had to be hospitalised. The reason was severe lack of proper nourishment. Her mother was pregnant while Tamanna was still an infant.
Notwithstanding the illness and the subsequent weaker health compared to her siblings, Tamanna, six years old, is a live wire, as can be seen from her recital of the Hindi poem.
हाथी आया झूमके Elephant swayed merrily
हाथी आया झूमके Elephant swayed merrily
धरती मां को चूमके his trunk kissing mother earth
आंखे उसकी छोटी छोटी his eyes so little little
टांगे उसकी मोटी मोटी his legs so big big
पंख जैसे उसके कान his ears are like wings
देखो देखो उसकी शान look at all his glory
आओ जी आओ ना please come, come here now
हमारे घर भी आओ ना come to our house too
हलवा पूरी खाओ ना have some halwa puri now
आओ बैठो कुर्सी पर come sit on this chair
कुर्सी बोली चटर पटर the chair said, "chattar, pattar"
हाथी राजा गये लुडक and elephant raja fell down!
