Bigg Boss 19 finalist Tanya Mittal has opened up for the first time about the reason behind unfollowing her close friend and housemate Neelam Giri on social media — a move that left fans surprised soon after the grand finale.
Tanya, who finished as the third runner-up, had formed one of the most talked-about friendships in the house. But outside the Bigg Boss walls, things changed quickly.
Tanya Mittal: “She called me fake and liar”
After visiting the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai to seek blessings post her Bigg Boss journey, Tanya spoke to the paparazzi and addressed the trending topic head-on.
She revealed she unfollowed Neelam after seeing interview clips in which Neelam allegedly referred to her as “fake” and a “liar”.
“After coming out, I saw her interviews where she called me fake and liar. I didn’t like what she said. I trusted her a lot, shared so many personal things, and she broke that trust.”

The actress looked visibly emotional and admitted she felt betrayed, stating that someone who called herself a friend should not have made such hurtful remarks.
Tanya also described herself as a “lone warrior”, saying she would rather move forward than continue relationships that don’t align with honesty and respect.
