“Kya mein sach mein Haar gayi?? Ganpati Bappa Morya.”

Addressing Criticism from Bigg Boss 19
During her stint on Bigg Boss 19, Tanya was often labeled ‘fake’ by fellow contestants due to her frequent discussions about wealth and luxury. After the show, she clarified her stance to the media, emphasizing her authenticity.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Tanya said:
“I’ve always been straightforward about who I am. I come from a family where I’ve grown up with certain habits and comforts, and I don’t see why that should be questioned. If I choose to spend on myself or maintain a particular lifestyle, it’s because I can. I work for it. That doesn’t make me pretentious. If a 30-year-old is able to take care of her needs and desires, what’s the issue with that?”
