Bigg Boss 19 Contestant Tanya Mittal Faces Questions About Family Relationships
Social media influencer Tanya Mittal, who has been gaining significant attention on Salman Khan's popular reality show Bigg Boss 19, recently found herself at the center of intense questioning about her complicated family relationships. During the latest episode aired on November 13, 2025, fellow contestants raised serious doubts about her family dynamics and whether her mother would visit during the upcoming family week.
Housemates Question Tanya's Family Dynamics
The controversy began when Gaurav Khanna directly asked Tanya about who would be visiting her during the highly anticipated family week segment of the show. Tanya's response that one of her aunts would come instead of immediate family members immediately raised eyebrows among her fellow contestants.
Shehbaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari joined the interrogation, expressing skepticism about Tanya's relationship with her parents. The situation intensified when Shehbaz pointed out the inconsistency in Tanya's behavior - while she frequently mentions missing her mother terribly, she had previously chosen a soft toy over watching a video message sent by her mother.
"If the video was of your mother, she could also come and visit you. Is she so upset that she won't come?" Shehbaz questioned pointedly during the episode.
Tanya's Defense and Emotional Revelations
Defending her position, Tanya explained that she had provided the Bigg Boss team with contact details for three friends and two relatives, including her aunt, because she was uncertain about her mother's willingness to participate. "I think one of my aunts will come. It will be great if my dadu comes. If she (mother) comes, I will be happy," Tanya stated during the emotional discussion.
The conversation took a more serious turn when housemates noted that Tanya never speaks confidently about her mother or brother. Gaurav Khanna highlighted another concerning detail - Tanya's family hasn't sent her the silver water bottle she requested, forcing her to use a broken one throughout the season.
Earlier in the season, Tanya had made shocking revelations about her difficult childhood, stating that her father used to beat her and that her mother often protected her. She shared that she started her business with great difficulty and barely managed to get permission to leave her house, even mentioning that she nearly got married at 19 against her wishes.
Family's Official Statement and Tanya's Extravagant Claims
In response to the growing controversy, Tanya's family released an emotional statement expressing their mixed feelings about her participation in the show. "We cannot explain the mix of emotions we feel seeing our Tanya on the country's biggest reality show. As parents, nothing makes us prouder than watching her win hearts," they stated.
However, they also expressed pain at seeing their daughter "being pulled down, made a target, and spoken about so cruelly by people who don't even know her heart." The family requested that viewers reserve judgment until Tanya's journey in the house is complete.
Throughout her time on Bigg Boss 19, Tanya has made several extraordinary claims about her luxurious lifestyle that have been questioned by both housemates and viewers:
- Claiming her home is larger and more luxurious than any 5- to 7-star hotel in India
- Asserting she has 150 personal bodyguards and over 800 staff members
- Revealing she entered the show with 800 sarees and seven boxes of jewellery
- Stating she owns multiple factories producing medicines, solar panels, clothes, and toys
- Describing extravagant food habits including traveling to Delhi for Dal Bukhara and to Agra for cold coffee opposite the Taj Mahal
While many contestants have accused Tanya of exaggerating her wealth and lifestyle, her friend Neelam Giri recently expressed hope that Tanya's claims about her financial status are indeed true. As the family week approaches, viewers eagerly await to see whether Tanya's mother will ultimately visit and provide clarity on their complicated relationship dynamics.
