In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19, Tanya Mittal, a contestant on the show, shared a deeply personal and traumatic experience from her childhood. During a nomination task, a comment made by fellow contestant Kunickaa Sadanand about Tanya's mother triggered painful memories, leading to an emotional breakdown on national television.

Tanya revealed that she endured domestic abuse at the hands of her father. "My father used to beat me, and my mother would save me," she recounted tearfully. She described a restrictive upbringing where she needed permission for basic freedoms, such as wearing a saree or stepping outside the house. Tanya also disclosed that she was almost forced into marriage at the young age of 19. "I was 19 when they almost got me married off. I wanted to die," she confessed, highlighting the despair she felt at that point in her life.

The comment made by Kunickaa, stating that Tanya's mother "had not taught her anything," struck a nerve and brought these painful memories to the surface. Despite managing to complete the task at hand, the emotional toll was evident, leading to her tearful revelation.

Tanya credited her mother as her biggest source of strength, emphasizing that her mother protected and empowered her through the darkest moments. She also spoke about the difficulties she faced when starting her business and her fight for independence. "I started my business with great difficulty," Tanya said, underscoring the challenges she overcame to achieve her goals.

The other housemates were shocked by Tanya's emotional confession. Several contestants, including Gaurav Khanna, Amaal Mallik, Zeishan Quadri, and Pranit More, condemned Kunickaa's insensitive comment and offered support to Tanya.

Tanya Mittal is an entrepreneur and influencer, and the founder of her own lifestyle label, Handmade with Love by Tanya. She is also a Miss Asia Tourism winner. Before entering Bigg Boss 19, Tanya shared about a painful breakup in 2018, where her ex-partner left her because he didn't find her beautiful enough. This heartbreak became a turning point for Tanya, and she worked on herself to emerge stronger.

Tanya's journey on Bigg Boss 19 has been marked by both admiration and controversy. She has been praised for her bold and outspoken nature, but has also faced trolling and negativity on social media. Her parents have issued a statement, expressing their disappointment with the harsh criticism and appealing to the public to refrain from targeting their family.

Previously, Tanya also opened up about being cheated on and used in past relationships. In a conversation with fellow contestant Baseer Ali, she shared her experiences with heartbreak and betrayal.

Tanya's ex-boyfriend, Balraj Singh, has also been in the news, with his ex-girlfriend Zoya Khan making allegations against him, including instances of abuse and threats.
