Tanya Mittal
Bigg Boss 19, presented by Salman Khan, may have ended on December 7, but the hype about its participants, particularly finalist Tanya Mittal, shows no signs of diminishing. Tanya, known for her outspoken personality, has returned to the spotlight, this time to answer Malti Chahar's viral allegation that Tanya kissed Amaal Mallik's image during a task inside the Bigg Boss house.
Tanya recently spoke with News 18 about her emotional state following the show, expressing a yearning for stability and friendship. Responding to Malti Chahar's accusation, she stated, "Mere saath aisa hai ki mujhe family, bachhe sab chahiye. Main akele thak gayi. Mommy, Papa, don't worry about me. Kabhi mene apne mom dad ko nahi bola ki isne mere sath bura kiya hai, is darti. (It's like this for me. I want a family, kids, and everything. I am tired of being alone. I can't communicate much with my parents... I've never told my parents that someone mistreated me because I'm terrified.)"
Tanya finally put the allegation to rest with a straightforward and strong clarification. "Maine kiss kiya hota na aur if mujhe pyaar hota, toh main duniya se kabhi nahi dari na..." Amaal se pyaar karti hoti toh main bolne main bhi nahi darti; main toh on-screen kiss karke aa jati ki yaar main pyaar karti hu. (If I had kissed him and was in love, I would not be terrified of the world. If I liked Amaal, I would not hesitate to say so. "I would have kissed him on screen and said, 'Yes, I'm in love.')"
She concluded by categorically refuting the accusation, noting that because she was not in love, there was no reason for her to kiss anyone's photo, and dismissing Malti's claim as unfounded.
Gaurav Khanna won Bigg Boss 19 with a cool temperament and solid gaming, taking home the trophy and Rs 50 lakh. The season's top five finalists were Gaurav Khanna, Farrhana Bhatt, Tanya Mittal, Amaal Mallik, and Pranit More. Farrhana Bhatt was named the first runner-up.
