After the performance, she opened up about her deep connection with her father, recounting how, after his passing, she moved into his house. Tanishaa revealed, “When he was alive, he would tell me to go and live with him, make a garden on the terrace, and grow roses. When he passed away, I decided to come and live in his house. Every morning, as I walk here, it feels like my father is with me. Losing him made me realise the immense role he played in my life.”

Tanishaa Mukerji also shared a harrowing experience from the time she was shooting her debut film Sssshhh and got into an accident.

While others suffered hand fractures, the actress claimed she fell outside the car and rolled underneath it, due to which she had concussion. While talking about the incident, Tanishaa claims she had no memory of the accident. Doctors advised her to stop shooting a month after the incident, but the producers insisted on continuing, threatening to shelve the movie. However, Tanishaa took a year to fully recover from the accident.
