While Tanishaa did not address the protests or give context for her post, she emphasised that one needs to back their country. Taking to X, she wrote, “I am truly shocked by the blind hate of some supposedly well-educated elitist Hindus that live with a complete British hangover! If u love London and America so much. Pls leave! We don’t want u here trying to put us down! Yes there are a lot of problems but it takes time and look where we have reached in the last 10 years!”

‘Things should be logical and factual’

A few days ago, Tanisha was part of a press conference held in Mumbai. There, she urged the paparazzi and the public to maintain decorum at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja, organised by the Mukerji family, at the SNDT Ground in Juhu.

About Tanishaa's career

She went on to participate in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 (2016) and was also seen as a contestant on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11. She later appeared as a judge on the comedy show Gangs of Haseepur.
