So, everyone’s been talking about the new teaser for Yash’s movie Toxic, and honestly, the internet went a bit crazy trying to figure out who the "mystery woman" was in that steamy car scene. For a hot minute, everyone—including some big news sites—was convinced it was the Hollywood actress Natalie Burn. But nope, it turns out we were all wrong!

| Not Natalie Burn! THIS is the Actress Everyone’s Buzzing About for Yash’s Toxic |
The director, Geetu Mohandas (she's the one who did Moothon, by the way), had to jump on Instagram to clear things up because the rumors were getting out of hand. She posted a story calling her the "cemetery girl" and tagged the actual actress: Beatriz Taufenbach.
Who is Beatriz Taufenbach?
If you haven't heard of her, don't feel bad—she’s definitely a fresh face for Indian cinema. Here’s the lowdown:
Background: She’s a Brazilian model and actress. She actually got her start way back in 2014 through something called the Karacter Model Tour.
Career: She’s spent a lot of time on international fashion runways. She isn't just a pretty face, though; she’s been training in acting and is apparently a really good singer too.
The Scene: In the teaser, she’s in a car with Yash’s character, Raya, in the middle of a graveyard. It’s super intense because they’re just chilling while a bomb is literally being planted right behind them. Talk about "toxic" vibes, right?
Social Media: She seems to like her privacy. After the teaser dropped and she became an "overnight sensation," her Instagram (@beatrizbach) was set to private. I guess she wasn't ready for millions of Yash fans hitting the follow button all at once!
Why the Natalie Burn Confusion?
It's easy to see why people got mixed up. Natalie Burn (who was in The Expendables 3) has a similar look, and with the movie having "global ambitions," everyone just assumed it was the more famous Hollywood star. Plus, once one person tweets it as a fact, everyone else just copies it—you know how the internet is.

Just in case you missed the other stuff about Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups:
Release Date: It’s coming out March 19, 2026. (Mark your calendars!)
The Cast: It’s honestly stacked. Besides Yash and Beatriz, we’ve got Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria.
The Vibe: It’s set in 1980s Goa and looks like a really gritty, stylish gangster flick.
I’m honestly pretty hyped for this one. Geetu Mohandas usually makes really artsy, deep movies, so seeing her do a massive "mass" film with Yash is going to be interesting.
