Pinkvilla asked Tina Datta if she and her mother laugh at the viral hug moment from Bigg Boss 16, she said, "So many times. My mom got so famous after that. She got a lot of fan-following, touchwood.

Tina addded, "She's like 'Kya Karna hai batao'. So now, when my team tells her to shoot a reel with me, she goes like, 'paise kitne milne waale hai, free mey mai kaam nahi karti, abhi mai famous hogai hu'. She is a darling, she's so much fun. She makes everybody laugh with her one-liners and sarcastic puns."

Tina Datta reveals her father's newfound love for shooting reels

The Uttran actress said, "My dad loves to shoot. I never really knew that he had this element in him. He is 65, but how much ever he is tired, he will be up to shoot anything. He loves wearing those weird printed shirts to shoot. I didn't know from where it came. I feel age is just a number, kis mey kya chupa hota hai, and over time, it comes out."

She further added, "My father is not at all conscious in front of the camera. He loves giving interviews, he loves to get spotted. If I go somewhere with him and there are media, he'd happily click pictures and ask, 'Mera picture acha aaya na?'. He is damn cute."
