Controversies
Uncordial relationship with co-stars
Tina Datta has often made headlines over not sharing a good relationship with Rashmi Desai and Sreejita De, her co-stars from Uttaran. Reportedly, she often entered into a catfight with both of them on the sets of Uttaran. Tina is reported to have said that the story revolves around her as she and Rashmi were playing the lead roles. Talking about it, Tina said,
The show has been running for the last six years, and everyone knows it is about two characters Meethi (Tina Datta) and Tapasya (Rashami Desai). So obviously, it revolves around me.”
Sreejita, however, disagreed and said that the statement was childish and that the show cannot run on just one character in the centre. While talking about it, during an interview, Srijeeta said,
A show cannot run with a single actor. An experienced actor knows that a show can never be shouldered by a single person. Anyone who says that the show is all about them is extremely childish and immature.”
Later, there were reports that when Tina and Rashmi were invited to host Comedy Circus 3 Ka Tadka, they did not host the show together and Rashmi came to the stage only after Tina had left the studio. Clarifying the issue, Tina told the media that she had no information on Rashmi’s presence and that the two shared a cordial relationship.
Allegations of sexual misconduct against her co-star
In 2019, while working with her co-star Mohit Malhotra in the TV serial Daayan, Tina accused Mohit of indulging in sexually inappropriate behaviour on the sets. Mohit, however, denied the allegations. Later, they held a meeting with the producers of the serial and sorted out the differences.
Accused a co-passenger of sexual misconduct on airlines
In 2014, Tina wrote a Facebook post according to which her co-passenger was trying to touch her inappropriately. She also accused the airline’s staff of not helping her and adopting a casual approach towards her complaints. She claimed that the airlines took no action against the man and only offered her a seat exchange.
