Bigg Boss 19: Tanya Mittal’s Top Controversies

• Tanya Mittal created an immediate stir by requesting housemates to address her as ‘ma'am.’ She revealed that even her brother calls her ‘boss,’ a statement that didn't resonate well with viewers. The remarks struck many as arrogant, particularly considering her spiritual influencer background.
• Her claim that she wears sarees ‘even in the bathroom’ because she's ‘not that open’ triggered massive online scrutiny. Fans immediately investigated her Instagram content, discovering reels where she confidently showcased various outfits. Old clips featuring her in shorter clothing surfaced online, leading internet users to label her statements as ‘hypocrisy.’
• Tanya reportedly entered the Bigg Boss house with over 800 sarees, an extraordinary wardrobe choice that raised eyebrows among viewers and contestants alike. This excessive collection fueled further speculation about her lifestyle and financial background.
• Adding to the intrigue, she claimed her bodyguards ‘saved 100 people during Kumbh Mela,’ with some housemates suggesting she employs ‘over 150 bodyguards.’ These statements amplified online discussions about the credibility of her assertions.
• The show introduced Tanya as born in 2000, listing her age as 25. However, Reddit users challenged this information, pointing to previous statements where she claimed to be 29 or older. An old photograph from 2017 showing her celebrating an 18th birthday added to the confusion, creating doubt about her actual age and raising questions about transparency.
• Tanya shared an emotional account of the 2025 Kumbh Mela, describing how ‘many people around her had died and she had come in contact with several bodies.’ She also claimed her bodyguards saved lives during the event. While the revelation went viral, viewers expressed scepticism about these dramatic claims, questioning their authenticity and timing within the reality show context.

Tanya's disputes with fellow contestant Ashnoor Kaur have become recurring entertainment for viewers. She called Ashnoor ‘badtameez’ and ‘ungrateful,’ emphasising their age difference by noting Ashnoor was ‘10 years younger.’

Ashnoor responded firmly with ‘Bacha koi nahi hai,’ establishing her position in the confrontation. Their continued exchanges have created ongoing tension that drives much of the house drama.

Her influencer credibility faced another challenge when contradictory statements about cooking emerged. While she claimed on the show that neither she nor her mother knows how to cook, an old video surfaced showing her confidently discussing her culinary abilities.
