Uttaran fame Tinaa Dattaa recently opened up about her abusive relationship. In an interview to a leading newspaper, the actress revealed that she was in an unhealthy relationship for five years and the experience with it left her to an extent that she lost confidence in herself.

"I was in a relationship with a non-industry guy for five years. We had met through common friends. But I called time on it, because he was extremely abusive, verbally and physically,” Tina said in a statement.

The actress further added, “I would get bashed up even in front of my friends.  I went bonkers to an extent that my confidence took a beating, I never wanted to go public with my relationship, but I feel that it’s time to speak up.”

After going through this hard time, Tinaa now wishes to go settle down. “I want to settle down and not go about having affairs and then nursing heartbreaks. I have always wanted a love marriage, but God is not sending anyone my way. I don’t want to marry someone from the industry, especially an actor, as the relationship will be marred by insecurities. I have seen several failed marriages between actors,” the actress concluded.

On the work front, Tinaa is currently playing the lead role in supernatural serial Daayan.
