The explosive dynamics of Bigg Boss 19 continue to reverberate long after the show's conclusion, with contestant Tanya Mittal making headlines for her candid revelations about her strained relationships both inside and outside the house. In a recent interview, Mittal pulled no punches as she labeled her former co-contestant Farhana Bhatt as a negative character and addressed a separate controversy involving singer Amaal Mallik.
Tanya Mittal Opens Up About Farhana Bhatt Friendship Fallout
According to Tanya Mittal, her bond with Farhana Bhatt deteriorated due to persistent doubts and accusations from Bhatt. In an exclusive conversation with Film Window, Mittal explained the emotional toll of their interactions. "My bond with Farhana was such that till the very end, she felt I was very smart and too clever," Mittal revealed. "She kept saying I was only pretending to be nice just to look good on TV. She never questioned my status, but she always doubted me as a person."
Mittal expressed how Bhatt's comments deeply affected her, stating, "She'd tell me our friendship was just for appearances, and honestly, that hurt. How am I supposed to look good by being friends with someone so negative?" This pattern of negativity, according to Mittal, created an insurmountable barrier in their relationship, making genuine friendship impossible.
The Ongoing Pattern of Suspicion
Mittal emphasized that this was not merely an isolated incident but rather a consistent pattern throughout their time together. "For Farhana, every conversation was filled with suspicion and negativity," she explained. "This constant doubt made it impossible to build any trust between us. That's why I continue to refer to her as a negative person - it wasn't just one moment, but how she consistently approached our relationship."
Tanya Mittal Addresses Amaal Mallik Accusations
Beyond the Farhana Bhatt controversy, Tanya Mittal found herself embroiled in another public dispute. Singer Amaal Mallik recently accused Mittal on X (formerly Twitter) of orchestrating a paid PR campaign against him. Mittal responded forcefully to these allegations during her interview.
"Why would I want to be linked with Amaal?" Mittal questioned. "If I did, I'd have shared my number and talked to him. It's obvious I'm not desperate for that connection. If I really wanted to be friends, I'd have met him at a party or something."
Defending Against Social Media Allegations
Mittal expressed frustration with Mallik's approach, noting, "Instead, he's targeting my fans and tweeting about them. I'm not even on Twitter, so I have no idea what's going on. Why is he making such a fuss?" She further clarified her position, stating, "Did I ever say anything to Amaal's fans? He's telling people I'm using paid media and trying to associate with him."
The reality TV star maintained her distance from the controversy, revealing, "I didn't even bother to read his full tweet - what's the point? I haven't messaged, called, or tried to meet him. Anyone with opinions about me, good or bad, I just leave those relationships as they are. I'm not chasing anyone."
The Aftermath of Bigg Boss 19 Drama
These revelations highlight how conflicts from reality television often spill over into contestants' post-show lives. Tanya Mittal's experiences demonstrate the complex interpersonal dynamics that develop within the high-pressure environment of shows like Bigg Boss, where relationships are tested under constant surveillance.
As audiences continue to follow these unfolding dramas, Mittal's candid interview provides insight into the emotional realities behind the entertainment spectacle. Her willingness to address these controversies directly reflects the ongoing public interest in the personal lives of reality TV personalities long after the cameras stop rolling.
