New Delhi: Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal has become one of the most talked-about personalities of the season, not just for her on-screen spats but also for her claims about her extravagant lifestyle. The influencer and entrepreneur has managed to draw attention with her remarks, family background and a brewing age controversy that fans can’t stop discussing.
Hailing from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, Tanya often credits her family for her journey. Though limited details about her relatives are publicly available, her father, Amit Mittal, is known to be a businessman who avoids media attention. Tanya completed her degree in Architecture from Chandigarh University, a field that aligns with her creative pursuits.
Before stepping inside the BB19 house, Tanya Mittal also worked as a model, podcaster, influencer and entrepreneur. She was crowned Miss Asia Tourism 2018 and represented India internationally at the Miss Asia Tourism Universe pageant in Lebanon. With over 2.5 million Instagram followers, she frequently posts motivational content and spiritual reflections. Her brand, Handmade with Love by Tanya, features handbags, saris and accessories. She also hosts a podcast that covers themes such as self-growth and spirituality.
Although her exact net worth for 2025 has not been publicly confirmed, reports suggest that Tanya Mittal earns around Rs 6 lakh per month, primarily from endorsements and her business ventures.
For the unversed, Tanya’s age has been a matter of debate since her introduction on the reality show. She was presented as a 2000-born contestant, but a Reddit thread pointed out inconsistencies. Netizens highlighted that Tanya had previously described herself as 29 or older. Further confusion emerged when an old photo from 2017 celebrating her 18th birthday resurfaced online. Matters escalated when she referred to 21-year-old actress Ashnoor Kaur as a “bacchi” on the show, prompting sharp reactions from viewers.
Tanya has also been making waves inside the Bigg Boss house for her bold statements. In a conversation with Bhojpuri actress Neelam Giri, she claimed her home was more lavish than luxury hotels. She said, “Sapno jaisa hai. Tujhe 5 star yaa 7 star hotel saste lagenge uske aage. Pura ek floor hai mere kapdon ke liye 2500 sq feet main hain mere kapde. Har floor pe 5 naukar rehte hain aur 7 drivers hain.”
The video of her remarks quickly went viral, with social media buzzing with reactions. One user wrote, “Mujhe toh iska ghar dekhna hai,” while another quipped, “Suneo fail hai iske saamne.”
Notably, Tanya has firmly positioned herself as one of the most polarising contestants of Bigg Boss 19.
