Other than acting, he is also the winner of the second edition of Jodi Number One, a dance-based reality television show.
[2][3][4] He resides in Atlanta, Georgia, where he operates Tinku Dance Academy with his wife and daughter.
Prior to the release of the film Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva (2017), Tinku released a video on Facebook alleging that composer Amresh Ganesh had stolen a song titled "Hara Hara Mahadevaki" from a film that he and Robert were making titled Thaathaa Car-ai Thodadhae.
In a press meet in February 2017, Amresh Ganesh refuted the claims and provided evidence of Tinku and Robert continuously trying to scam him by gathering funds for the shelved project.
Moreover, Amresh revealed that Robert had owned up to playing the song to music composer Srikanth Deva, and had attempted to include it in another shelved film titled Minor Kunju Kaanom which Tinku, Robert and Srikanth Deva were involved in.
