''As a global economy let’s help each other grow", Tina Datta reacts to the India-Maldives row

Tina Datta never holds back while expressing her thoughts and beliefs. When it comes to sharing her opinions and convictions, she always approaches them fearlessly. 

Amid escalating tensions between India and the Maldives following a controversial tweet by a Maldives minister regarding the Lakshadweep Islands, Tina Datta took to social media to express solidarity with the archipelago and encourage fellow citizens to explore the beauty of the islands. 

Actor Tina Datta took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her astonishment at the derogatory comments from some Maldives ministers. "A proud Indian, & I’m so glad that our PM is promoting our country on the tourism front. Loved Maldives twice when I visited, but I didn’t like the comments coming towards our country. As a global economy let’s help each to grow & not demean any1. #Lakshadweep #exploringindianislands

Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Lakshadweep, a Maldivian minister's post provoked a social media backlash, leading to a diplomatic conflict. A minister from Maldives said that India was attacking their country and implied that India found it difficult to compete with Maldives in beach tourism. Indian celebrities, such as Tina Datta, have responded by endorsing Lakshadweep and bringing attention to the islands' compelling and varied natural beauty.
