Tini Tom is also an executive member of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA).

Tini added that he and his wife have decided to keep their son, who is keen to become an actor, away from the industry. Speaking at a college event, Tini Tom said, "My son recently got a chance to act as the child of a major actor but my wife refused to allow it. My wife is worried for him. Dangerous times ahead." However, he didn't name the actor.

He further said, “I noticed that his (major actor) teeth had decayed due to excessive drug usage. Many people say that he takes drugs to perform better. Today, it’s his teeth but tomorrow it could be his bones. We should be addicted to arts but not drugs.”
