Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal has been making a lot of noise ever since she entered the reality show. Her claims of owning 150 bodyguards and 800 house staff are now going viral on the internet. While some are finding it extremely entertaining, others have been trolling the Instagram influencer online. Amid this, her family has shared a statement expressing their disappointment in trolls for criticising their daughter.
The statement read: “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. But at the same time, nothing hurts more than seeing her being pulled down, made a target, and spoken about so cruelly, by people who don’t even know her heart.”
The family added: “To everyone questioning her or throwing allegations, we have only one request: please wait until her journey is complete before passing judgements. She deserves that much. Your reels and allegations may win you attention, but they leave scars that last a lifetime.”
“And please… we ask with folded hands, keep us, her family out of this. This is a very difficult time for us. We never imagined that our daughter, whom we raised with nothing but love, would be subjected to such negativity on such a public stage. Every harsh word cuts us too, in ways you may never understand.”
The statement concluded with: “All we can hope is that humanity and kindness prevail. Until then, we continue to stand by our Tanya, with love and with faith. We love you, stay strong like the boss we raised you to be.”
Tanya Mittal’s ‘exaggerated’ claims such as: “I didn’t know it takes these many things to take a shower and one needs to prepare so much”, “my bodyguards saved people at Mahakumbh including the police” and “please call me boss, that’s what people call me. Why are you all calling me by my name?” became a laughing stock for people online. She even compared her home to a 5-star or 7-star hotel, claiming that an entire floor is dedicated solely for her clothes. Among many other things, Tanya also claimed to be owning a solar plant, several farms as well as her own dairy.
These statements soon went viral, leaving the internet divided. While some came out in her support for keeping the show entertaining, others have been trolling the influencer for making such tall claims without thinking of its consequences.
A thread on Reddit about her claims has gained several reactions. One user wrote: “I feel it was her PR strategy since starting… nobody is stupid and delusional enough to say they don’t know how to prepare for bath as househelp used to do it at home.”
Meanwhile, another Redditor wrote, “She claims she was born with a silver spoon. And everybody in her house has bodyguard since she was a kid. She has seen this since her childhood and having this lifestyle is every normal.”
Other comments read: “It is clear she is overdoing it but mannn she is entertaining” and “We all know that all she is doing is rage-bating. And it is working.”
In another development, her purported ex-boyfriend Balraj Singh shared a video on his YouTube channel and called her fake. The content creator also accused her of using others for her benefit.
Bigg Boss contestant Tanya Mittal is a social media influencer, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. She also runs a lifestyle label Handmade with Love by Tanya, which offers handbags and sarees. With over 2.5 million Instagram followers, she also posts motivational notes and glimpses of her business journey.
She became the centre of attraction when a tragic stampede broke out during the 2025 Maha Kumbh. Tanya posted an emotional video describing the chaos and claimed to have helped the victims by offering water and support to them. This went viral.
