Facts/General Knowledge
- When she was 39, she froze her eggs. While talking about freezing her eggs in an interview, she said,
I wanted to freeze my eggs at 33! That time, when I went to my doctor (who ultimately froze my eggs now)… it’s funny but he stopped me from doing it at that time. While she told me that it has an effect on your body, she advised that I should do it if I had no hope of having a child. It is a personal choice. And today, it’s perfectly okay not to have children. Embrace it, there is a lot in this world.”
- He is an animal lover.

- In 2019, Tanisha faced a racist attack in New York when she visited the US to attend a CRY America charity event. After the ceremony, she went to a nightclub with her friends, where a man reportedly made inappropriate comments. Talking about this incident in an interview, he said,
I don’t understand the reason because I was polite, but he became rude. One of the employees, an African-American, said we looked like we had just gotten off the boat and couldn’t speak English. He was abusive and blatantly racist. I and my friends were surprised. It is sad to experience this type of racism in America; I have never encountered this before. I asked him to call the police, but he refused to do so.
- When asked in an interview whether she always wanted to be an actress or had other aspirations, she replied,
To be honest, I had other aspirations too. I wanted to become a veterinarian because I love animals very much but the problem was that I could not bear to see injured animals, so my mother told me that I could not become a veterinarian that way. So that ended my dream (laughs). In between, I had a big dream of becoming a businesswoman. However, I didn’t know what business to pursue. So I had some aspirations, but acting was always my passion.
- Apart from being an actress, she is also an environmentalist. She is the owner of an NGO named Stamp Foundation.
- Being a fitness enthusiast, he is often seen working out in the gym.

- In an interview, while talking about his acting career, which did not turn out the way he thought, he said,
I wore every gemstone, consulted every astrologer and performed every puja possible (laughs!). I was very young, and when someone told me, ‘Well, wear this, it will be good for you,’ I used to do that. I realized it doesn’t work like that. Whatever I had to do for my career, I did it. I also went to meet directors, but I think it worked against me. I think they would be embarrassed to meet me because it was a different time. Plus, it puts you in a negative light, ‘He doesn’t have a job.’ It is difficult to break the traditional mentality.”
- She follows a non-vegetarian diet.
