When did the cold war begin?
Tina Dutta and Sreejita De, who played Meethi and Mukta in the show, Uttaran, started having a cold war due to the apprehensions about who should be credited as the lead actress of the show. Tina said back then, “The show has been running since the last six years, and everyone knows it is about two actresses Meethi (Tina Dutta) and Tapasya (Rashami Desai, who quit the show recently), and so obviously, the show revolves around me.”
In reply to this, Sreejita had to quote, “A show cannot run with a single actor. Damini, Jogi, Nani, Divya are all contributing to the show, but they never even get spoken about. An experienced actor knows that a show can never be shouldered by a single person. Anyone who says that the show is all about them is extremely childish and immature.”

Rumour had it, that they even accused each other of copying looks
On which Sreejita commented, “I don’t want to focus on factors like costume and make-up, but if anyone follows the show, they will know who is following whom.”
Put the same question to Tina and she expressed, “I do my job, go back home and sleep well. Others can have sleepless nights because of their figment of imagination. Besides, I have an independent make-up and hairstylist, so where is the issue of copying somebody?”

During Big Boss’s premiere as well, the duo sweetly went on an imbalanced spree. Where infront of Salman Khan, Sreejita accused Tina of being dominating, Tina was trying to not inflame the conversation. Although a new promo of Bigg Boss shows both of them being called in the confession room and Bigg Boss trying to make them confront their differences. It will be interesting to see if things will settle down or if the spark will ignite further and turn into a full blown fire.
