Tinaa Dattaa Hits Back At Trolls Over Pakistan Post: 'Unfollow Me, I Don't Care'
Last Updated:
Television actress Tinaa Dattaa took a bold stand on Instagram after facing backlash over her post critiquing Pakistan's military rhetoric.
Television actress Tinaa Dattaa, known for her roles in popular shows like Uttaran, sparked intense debate on social media this week after sharing a strongly-worded Instagram Story in response to Pakistan's claims about shooting down Indian fighter jets. Her post read, 'Pakistan claiming that they shot down Indian jets to let the world know about their military/air force strength. Wish they said the same about shooting down terror camps in their province. That would command more respect for them on a global level." The message was a pointed take on the neighbouring country's perceived priorities and drew a flurry of reactions from both supporters and detractors.
Following the post, Tinaa began receiving backlash from several Instagram users, many of whom threatened to unfollow her. One such user sent her a message saying, 'Unfollowing you to be andhbhakt urine drunk people (sic)," to which the actress responded without mincing words. 'And there are people who only spread hatred. Why be in Bharat if you've so much problem with this country?" she replied, making her stance very clear. Her response set the tone for what followed—an unapologetic stream of stories standing firm in her beliefs.
As more messages poured in criticizing her post, Tinaa chose to address the unfollow threats directly. In another Instagram story, she wrote, 'All those threatening to unfollow me and making announcements to do so, you should be gone by now… And I simply don't care. Nothing will change my stand on what our country India and our PM is doing, and that is taking on terror and dealing with it the way it should be dealt with… for your own safety and ours and our country. Please unfollow, I encourage that. I don't know you, don't wanna know you and don't need you… go get a workout, sleep, but just go… Bharat Power. Jai Hind."
Tinaa's strong reaction came amid heightened national sentiment following Operation Sindoor, a major offensive by the Indian Armed Forces targeting terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The operation was launched in retaliation to the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, where 26 civilians lost their lives. As the news unfolded, many television celebrities including Hina Khan, Karan Tacker, Abhishek Kumar, Avika Gor, and Shubhangi Atre took to social media to applaud the government and the armed forces for their swift and decisive response. Tinaa, however, has been among the few to engage so directly and vocally with online critics.

Canada, a move away from the Rockies
Recognising a problem is the first step towards a solution. By that metric, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has taken an important step towards repairing a troubled India-Canada relationship. A recent CSIS report acknowledges the existence of Canada-based Khalistani extremists who continue to promote, fund and/or plan acts of violence targeting India. Not only do they mean harm to India, CSIS says these groups also threaten Canadian national security. That is lucid observation. The report's findings dovetail efforts by PM Mark Carney to repair and restore the bilateral relationship left hanging precariously by his predecessor Justin Trudeau. Recognition of continued operations of Canada-based Khalistani extremists is an important departure from the recent past when focus was turned on alleged involvement of Indian officials in the 2023 killing of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar. While perceptions of the threat may differ, acknowledgement that it's an issue of concern for both countries will allow addressing it, and avoid the kind of strange food fight that had broken out before. Like any long-standing relationship, especially between two democracies, there have been ups and downs. But, on balance, it has been a good one. The current fractured geopolitical and geo-economic landscape, exacerbated by unpredictability of the Trump regime - his continued suggestion of annexing Canada and newfound friendship with Pakistan and its generals - adds urgency to restoring and augmenting New Delhi-Ottawa ties. Working together and tackling problems with mutual respect, for mutual benefit, should become a SOP, allowing both nations to leverage the past - beyond the too-recent past, that is - and take on multiple challenges.

In the show she stated, "No, I wish I did, to be honest—less traumatic!' referring to the host Jos Pieter's question. Turley further added, "Why would somebody pretend to break up?
