Bigg Boss 19’s Tanya Mittal leaves viewers annoyed
Bigg Boss 16 contestant Tanya Mittal grabbed attention and was criticized for demanding respect and flaunting her security. While many labelled her as "egoistic”, others called her a version of Urvashi Rautela. When Kunickaa asked Mridul Tiwari to not call other contestants "ma’am” apart from her, Tanya interrupted and said, "Mujhe toh ma’am bolo, mujhe boss hi bolte hain sab log (Call me ma'am because people anyways call me boss). I anyway don't like it that people are calling me by name.”
Tanya then revealed that her family members even call her "boss” and she loves it. She further added, "Girls don’t get respect easily, they have to take it by putting pressure. You have earned it in years, so I don’t want to get respect only when I turn 50. I want it now.”
Flaunting about her tight security, she told Ashnoor, Nagma and Zeishaan, "My bodyguards saved 100 people in Kumbh Mela, even saved police, and that’s why I ended up here. So my bodyguards are well-trained. I haven’t got any threats yet, but I can’t wait to get one and then keep security. This has been going on in my family for a long time; everyone had security. We have a habit of walking with security. We like having PSOs and staff.”
In another conversation with Pranit, she talked about how she has not changed a thing about her and considers her participation in the reality show an achievement. She said, "Ladkiyon ke liye yahan aana kaise asaan hota hai that you have to leave your culture behind but I am still wearing saree and coming here. Female actors have to do a lot of things, those types of scenes and wear those types of clothes. But I reached here without doing any of these things, so that’s an achievement for me.”

Tanya Mittal’s bold remarks did not sit well with netizens and they criticised her. One user wrote, "That one self-obsessed and egoistic girl.” Another commented, "Total pick me behaviour.” One user wrote, "The way she is putting other girls down just to shine is so annoying.”
