Recent weeks have seen a flurry of speculation regarding a possible romantic connection between music composer Amaal Mallik and spiritual influencer Tanya Mittal, both of whom recently appeared on Bigg Boss 19. Mallik has now taken to social media to address the rumors, emphatically denying any romantic involvement with Mittal and calling the ongoing speculation "nonsensical".
The rumors appear to have originated during and after Bigg Boss 19, with fellow contestant Malti Chahar alleging that Mittal kissed a photo of Mallik during a task. This sparked considerable discussion both inside and outside the house, with some viewers interpreting Mittal's actions as a sign of romantic interest. Mittal initially addressed the kissing controversy by stating that she would not hide her feelings if she were in love with Mallik. She further clarified that because she wasn't in love, there was no reason to kiss anyone's picture and dismissed Chahar's claim as baseless.
Mallik's recent statement comes in response to a netizen sharing a video of him dancing with Mittal on Bigg Boss 19, commenting on their "real chemistry". In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mallik clarified that their pairing was simply part of a task assigned by the show's creative team. He expressed gratitude to Mittal for her care and concern during the season but firmly stated that the situation was being blown out of proportion. "That's the channel creative and you guys are constantly making this into some nonsensical romance," he wrote.
The situation between Mallik and Mittal seemed to have experienced some turbulence during the show. A promo showed Mallik accusing Mittal of faking their friendship. Mittal's manager claimed that Mallik befriended Mittal for his own benefit. Mittal, however, doesn't blame Mallik for his remarks and feels that he was being influenced by other contestants. She acknowledged that friends like Malti Chahar and Nehal Chudasama may have misled him.
Mallik also acknowledged that he may have said things that hurt Mittal and her fans, apologizing for any offense caused by his actions. He stated that such incidents are learning experiences that help one recognize and address their shortcomings.
Mittal has also spoken about her desire for companionship and family, stating that she is tired of being alone. She has emphasized that if she were in love with Mallik, she would not hesitate to express it openly.
Ultimately, both Mallik and Mittal have now publicly addressed the rumors, with Mallik firmly denying any romantic connection and Mittal clarifying her stance on the alleged photo-kissing incident. While their friendship may have experienced some ups and downs, both seem to be moving forward, dispelling any notions of a "nonsensical romance".
