Bigg Boss has always been about drama, larger-than-life personalities, and contestants who spark debates beyond the four walls of the house. Enter Tanya Mittal in Bigg Boss 19, and the audience got exactly that — a walking, talking headline machine. Since her very first episode, Tanya has had fans, critics, and trolls equally glued to her every move. Whether it’s her outrageous claims, her opulent lifestyle anecdotes, or her traditional yet contradictory views on relationships, Tanya is proving to be one of the most polarising contestants of this season.

So, who is Tanya Mittal really? A fearless entrepreneur? A self-proclaimed feminist? A hopeless romantic? Or just another Bigg Boss contestant riding on shock value?

And let’s be honest—love her or troll her, you can’t ignore her.

The Social Media Sensation Turned Reality TV Star

Tanya Mittal isn’t new to the limelight. Before her Bigg Boss 19 stint, she was already an internet sensation thanks to her viral video from the Maha Kumbh Yatra, where she claimed her bodyguards saved lives during a stampede. An entrepreneur hailing from Gwalior, Tanya has proudly described herself as a businesswoman running three factories, a millionaire, and a woman employing 800 staff members and scores of bodyguards.

Her most repeated claim? That she owns a 26,000 sq ft house, with an entire floor (about 2,500 sq ft) dedicated just to her clothes. Add to this her confession that she has seven drivers, five servants per floor, and solar panels that keep her electricity bill as low as ₹600 despite multiple elevators — and you start to understand why the internet can’t decide whether she’s fascinating or downright delusional.

The BB19 Spotlight Stealer

Since she entered Colors TV’s Bigg Boss 19, Tanya Mittal has been under the scanner. Within days, she positioned herself as a strong personality, sparking conversations and feuds with fellow contestants. From her spat with Baseer, who accused her of being “fake,” to her changing dynamics with Kunickaa and her growing closeness with singer Amaal Mallik, Tanya knows how to stay in the spotlight.

But her fame isn’t restricted to the BB19 house. Outside, social media is buzzing with clips of her over-the-top lifestyle stories—complete with luxury anecdotes, spiritual tidbits, and dramatic claims. Whether viewers see her as authentic or just putting up a show, there’s no denying that Tanya Mittal has become a household name.

Tanya Mittal on Love, Marriage, and the ‘Jobless’ Husband

Beyond the Bigg Boss spotlight, Tanya’s old interviews have resurfaced, showing a very different side of her personality. In a 2021 conversation with Newscoop, Tanya revealed some deeply personal, if not controversial, views on marriage and relationships.

And, oh boy, her statements have left people divided.

“I Don’t Mind Marrying a Jobless Man”

Tanya’s most debated remark was her admission that she would happily marry an unemployed man.

She said:

"I don't know if there is a man in the world like the one I want. However, I don't mind marrying an unemployed man. I don't mind massaging his feet or touching his feet in public. I believe that there is no such thing as big or small in any relationship."

That’s right. In an era when women are constantly breaking glass ceilings, Tanya stirred debate by flipping the script. She openly claimed she didn’t care if her husband never earned a rupee. For her, love, respect, and devotion matter more than financial contribution. For someone who claims to be a feminist, this line raised eyebrows. While Tanya positioned it as an act of love and equality, many saw it as problematic or regressive.

A Hopeless Romantic at Heart

Tanya also confessed that she is a “hopeless romantic.” Sharing stories from her past relationship, she recalled how she went out of her way to make her partner feel special.

She said:

"When I was in a relationship, I was a hopeless romantic. I would bring a towel to wipe my boyfriend's hands after he finished eating. And I know I would do the same with my husband. I want my husband to feel like a king."

The imagery is straight out of a Bollywood movie—grand gestures, unwavering devotion, and an almost old-school idea of romance. Tanya clearly believes in love that’s visible, loud, and unapologetically expressive.

Why Tanya Doesn’t Want a Rich Husband

For someone who claims to own factories, mansions, and employs hundreds of staff, Tanya’s choice in a life partner may surprise many. She doesn’t want a wealthy man.

Explaining her stance, she said:

“Today I have three factories. I have a lot of money. After having all this, I should not want someone else to earn for me. It would be wrong. For a change, I feel that men should not worry about being the breadwinner. I will earn and also cook for my husband. I know all the household work. I believe that in the name of feminism, we have started getting ahead of our husbands, and this is wrong. Goddess Sita also touched the feet of Lord Ram.”

It’s a refreshing reversal of traditional gender roles, but Tanya didn’t stop there. She went further into dangerous territory.

The Controversial Take on Feminism

For someone who has claimed to be a feminist, Tanya’s remarks in the same interview raised eyebrows.

“I strongly believe that we have started to overtake our husbands in the name of feminism, and this is wrong. Goddess Sita also touched Lord Ram’s feet,” Tanya stated.

Her words sparked a storm online. Many pointed out the contradiction between calling herself a feminist while simultaneously endorsing patriarchal customs. Others defended her, arguing that feminism is about choice, and Tanya is simply exercising hers.

Whichever side you’re on, there’s no denying that Tanya Mittal knows how to strike a chord—and stir a debate.

Tanya’s Tryst With Love and Heartbreak

Interestingly, Tanya admitted that there was a time when she did want to marry a rich man. She was in a relationship with someone wealthy and even considered tying the knot if her business failed.

But life had other plans. The man broke up with her, reportedly telling her she “didn’t look pretty.” That heartbreak became a turning point. Tanya turned her energy toward building her business empire and eventually becoming a travel vlogger and influencer.

Her journey is part heartbreak, part hustle, and all drama—the exact mix that makes her such a compelling Bigg Boss contestant.

Tanya Mittal’s Bigg Boss 19 One-Liners That Went Viral

If her old interviews didn’t already make her a trending topic, Tanya’s statements inside the BB19 house have added fuel to the fire. Here are some gems that got fans and trolls talking:

1. “Call me ma’am” – In her very first episode, Tanya demanded housemates address her as “ma’am.” She claimed even her brother calls her “boss.”

2. Sarees in the bathroom – Tanya announced that she wears sarees “in the bathroom” because she isn’t “that open.”

3. The bodyguard saga – She boasted about roaming around with her security and was rumored to have over 150 bodyguards.

4. Luxury flexes – She told Neelam that her mansion is so grand that “5-star and 7-star hotels look cheap in comparison.”

5. Closet goals – Tanya revealed she has a 2,500 sq. ft. floor in her house just for clothes. Every floor, she claimed, has five servants and seven drivers.

6. Rs 600 electricity bill – Despite her palatial home with multiple elevators, she proudly stated their electricity bill is only Rs 600, thanks to solar panels.

7. Heroic claims – In a jaw-dropping revelation, Tanya even said she rescued police officers during the 2025 Maha Kumbh stampede in Prayagraj.

Each of these statements has sparked laughter, memes, and heated debates across social media, making Tanya the undisputed drama queen of BB19.

Who Will Tanya Mittal Marry?

The million-dollar question—or should we say, the “26,000 sq. ft. question”? Fans are curious about Tanya’s future husband. Will it be someone unemployed, as she claims she’s fine with? Or will her grand lifestyle demands require someone equally extravagant?

Going by her words, Tanya seems to be looking for love that’s unconditional, loyalty that’s unquestionable, and a man who is okay being pampered like royalty.

Whether such a man exists—or whether Tanya will rewrite her checklist again—only time will tell.

Final Thoughts: Tanya Mittal—Feminist, Traditionalist, or Just a Master of Drama?

Tanya Mittal is not your average Bigg Boss contestant. She’s a cocktail of contradictions—an entrepreneur who doesn’t want a rich husband, a feminist who thinks women shouldn’t get ahead of men, and a spiritual influencer who can’t stop flaunting material luxuries.

She’s bold, unfiltered, and, most importantly, unapologetic. Whether you agree with her or roll your eyes at her, Tanya has cracked the Bigg Boss code: keep the audience talking.

And in that, she has already won—at least outside the BB19 house.
