Bigg Boss 19’s media round turned intense as contestants faced a barrage of sharp, uncompromising questions. While some navigated the pressure with confidence, others struggled to justify their actions. One of the most scrutinised participants during the session was Tanya Mittal, whose on-screen behaviour and self-presentation have become a major talking point inside and outside the house.
Tanya was grilled over her repeated emphasis on appearing wealthy, elite and “classy”, and for comments that many viewers have labelled classist. The controversy stems largely from her major clash with fellow contestant Pranit More. During the altercation, Tanya remarked about his appearance and declared that he should consider himself “lucky” to even converse with her—adding that she would not acknowledge people like him in the real world.
Media Questions Tanya’s ‘Classist’ Behaviour
Journalists questioned Tanya about her fixation on wealth, high-end fashion, jewellery and real estate, along with her tendency to belittle others based on appearance or background. Responding to the criticism, Tanya explained—according to TellyChakkar—that she had never been away from home for such a long period and had never interacted with people who spoke to her disrespectfully. She claimed her remarks were reactions to personal insults.
Tanya added that she grew up surrounded by financial comfort and has always lived a certain lifestyle, which is why she openly speaks about luxury. She insisted that her statements were not meant to demean others but reflected her personal upbringing.
A Series of Controversies Surrounding Tanya
Tanya has been at the centre of several heated moments this season. Recently, she had a fierce argument with Ashnoor Kaur, which led to Ashnoor’s eviction after allegedly hitting Tanya with a wooden plank during a physical altercation.
She has also grabbed attention for her growing friendship with fellow contestant Farrhana Bhatt, a dynamic that has sparked multiple discussions on the show. In another twist, Baseer Ali stirred conversation when he accused Tanya of practising black magic—an allegation that instantly became a talking point among viewers.
Tanya Mittal Reaches the Top 5
Despite the controversies, Tanya Mittal has secured her place among the top five finalists of Bigg Boss 19. She now stands alongside Gaurav Khanna, Pranit More, Farrhana Bhatt and Amaal Mallik as the competition reaches its final stage.
Whether her unapologetic persona helps or harms her prospects in the finale remains to be seen, but Tanya continues to be one of the most talked-about contestants of the season.
