Nikhil Chinnappa says girl in the story Is that you, Tamanna? is not a Roadie

MiD DAY's front page on June 22 Is that you, Tamanna?u00a0 clearly suggests that the girl in the video is Tamanna (who I have never met and do not know, aside from the endless hours of footage I and the rest of the country have seen of her and the rest of the contestants on the show Roadies).

After taking the trouble to check the authenticity of your paper's claim, I felt compelled to send you my thoughts on the same I was shocked to see that MiD DAY would sink to such shoddy tabloidism to sell it's paper.

1.The girl in the video bears no resemblance to Tamanna.
2. The pendant in the video is obviously not the same, as the one worn by Tamanna on the MTV show Roadies. One is an Om sign and one is a crucifix.

I am appalled that a paper that I enjoy reading and look up to for it's journalistic values, would not even bother to check the authenticity of the speculative claim it has made on its front page.u00a0

The kind of damage MiD DAY has done to an innocent girl's reputation and the pain it must have caused her family and friends is unimaginable.

I do hope that MiD DAY will be able to make amends just as loudly and boldly as the brazen claim it has made on its front page yesterday.
