In a recent interview, Tina recalled her childhood memories of celebrating Bengali new year with her family and told Zoom TV, "New years bring a new energy of enthusiasm and power. I have always been someone who loves to celebrate festivals and Poila Baisakh has been one of my favourite ones.

"Spending time with family, cooking as well as eating traditional Bengali cuisines has been a ritual. This year I'm shooting in Umargaon so can't go home yet celebrating it. Will start my day with a pooja and cook something sweet. May this Poila Baisakh bring newer beginnings in everyone's lives. Have fun with your loved ones and enjoy with lots of sweets and treats!! Lots of love to all…"

Tina also fondly reminisced about her childhood, saying, "We used to shop a week prior, new clothes and accessories… Decorate our house in Kolkata, cook lots of sweets and variety of cuisine. It used to be a feast at our house. As a child I got so many gifts, my parents still get me a gift. Sweet memories!!"
