Speaking more about her declined career, Tanishaa also talked about a time when she used to get a lot of film offers post her debut. She tagged them as ‘quick films’ which she ended up rejecting, since she couldn’t really connect with the storylines each unravelled. In her words:
“They were quick films. Back then, the story of the films didn’t have substance and depth. It was an odd time in the industry when I came in. I wish I had done more films. It’s not like I didn’t get the offers but I didn’t connect with the subjects. I didn’t identify with the characters and I felt I wasn’t a real actor then.”
Previously, in an episode of the dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 11, Tanishaa delivered a power-packed performance for which she received immense praise from the judges.

“You have to have a strong sense of self. You have to have a strong sense of who you are and that person who will come out on screen. Those are the people who will actually make it, those who have a strong sense of self. Maybe I didn't make it because I didn't have that."
