Spiritual influencer Tanya Mittal became one of the most talked-about contestants on Bigg Boss 19. Whether it was her claims of having 150 bodyguards or flying to Dubai just to eat baklava, Tanya frequently flaunted a lavish lifestyle that many viewers found hard to believe. Finishing her journey as the 3rd runner-up, Tanya defended her image and also spoke about pursuing an acting career following an offer from Ekta Kapoor.
Talking about her Bigg Boss 19 journey, Tanya Mittal said, “My journey has been like searching for a diamond in the rough. Usually, before finding the diamond, there are lots of black particles that fall on you, it breaks you, and you reach a point where you want to give up. It’s been a very tough journey for me. I am yet to find that diamond, I am trying very hard and not giving up. The biggest victory for me in life is that I have come so far.”

She added, “I have only seen downfalls, andI have been trying to hold on to the parachute of life. I feel God has planned something very big for me, maybe that’s why I am going through all this.”
On Bigg Boss 19, not just her co-contestants, but also host Salman Khan called Tanya Mittal ‘fake’ and said that she was fooling people with her claims. Reacting to this, Tanya said that it was hard to believe for many since these achievements came from a woman.
“One problem that I saw in people was that, whether it was bodyguards or a lavish lifestyle, we always expect men to maintain that. The first time a woman like this came who was not a politician or celebrity or movie star, yet she maintains bodyguards, goes to Dubai for a dessert, so it became very questionable for people. Is it necessary that women always stay behind and wait for their husbands to allow them to go and shop in Dubai? Should only Bollywood stars and politicians have bodyguards? I want to make myself feel like a star without being one. Is it a mistake?” Tanya said.
She added, “Who am I earning for? I said on the show, this is how I am. If you see outside, I have shown the same lifestyle. I only have a few years of my life left, and I want to live it to the fullest. I will make sure to give myself all that happiness which others find ‘too much’. I am too much, and if they don’t find a man like this too much, then they shouldn’t judge me either.”
Tanya Mittal also spoke about receiving an acting offer from Ekta Kapoor, and shared if she would want to act going forward. She said, “I have never had expectations from anyone. I always think whatever is happening with me is for the good, and I give it my best. Ekta m’am has been a dream come true for me. I have followed her since childhood, especially as a girl who is taking care of her family and is such a powerful person. I don’t know what Ekta Mam has to offer. We just spoke a few lines that day, and she made the offer, after which I was hit by a plank. I will meet her now and see what the offer is and what I do with it.”

On a parting note, Tanya added, “It was step one in the Bombay industry, when I learned to survive in a reality space. I will learning acting too. I am a quick learner.”
