During a press conference in Mumbai days before the Durga Puja celebrations, Tanishaa urged the paparazzi and the public to maintain decorum at the pandal. “There's going to be a lot more footfall, so I definitely request everybody in the media and the public to please take care of each other.

Aap log bahut badmash ho, kuch aapke photographers joh purposely jaa ke chabi lagate hai.
