• In an interview, Tejaswini disclosed a disturbing encounter with her landlord in Pune, who had once propositioned her for sexual favours. She described how the landlord, a local government representative, proposed a disturbing arrangement involving sexual quid pro quo when she came by his office to pay her rent. Shocked and offended by this audacious proposal, Tejaswini promptly responded by throwing a glass of water in the landlord’s face. ^[3]The Indian Express Tejaswini Pandit, in the interview, said,
  

  It was around 2009-10 and I used to stay in a rental apartment on Sinhagad Road (in Pune). At that time, only one or two movies of mine had been released. The apartment was owned by a corporator. When I reached his office to pay rent, he made a direct offer to me… There was a glass of water on the table, I picked it up and threw it on his face. I did not enter this profession to do such things, or else I would not have stayed in a rental apartment. I would have brought homes and cars and whatnot.”

• Tejaswini took a trip down memory lane to her childhood with her father through an Instagram post in 2021. She reminisced about two spoons her family possessed since her birth, one for measuring tea powder and the other for sugar. It was her father who taught her the art of tea-making using these very spoons. Despite one of the spoons having a broken handle, they never replaced it as her family held a firm belief in the significance of precise measurements in cooking.
