From ‘bodyguards’ claim to ‘wanting to be called boss’: BB19's Tanya Mittal's moments everyone's talking about

The first week of Bigg Boss 19 has been anything but ordinary, thanks to Tanya Mittal. Known for her outspoken personality and larger-than-life claims, she has already managed to spark both drama and laughter inside the house. From sarees to security tales, here are Tanya’s most unforgettable moments so far.

My bodyguards saved 100 people in Kumbh Mela—even saved police”:

Tanya’s very first statement in the house had jaws dropping. She proudly narrated how her bodyguards once saved a hundred people during Kumbh Mela, adding that they even came to the rescue of policemen. The dramatic claim instantly set her image as someone who thrives on grand stories and bold declarations.

Insisting “everyone calls me boss”—including her family

Tanya, respect is non-negotiable. She made it clear that she prefers being addressed as “ma’am” or “boss,” revealing that even her family members call her that. She argued that women should not wait years to earn authority, she demands it right away.

“I have maintained my culture, unlike other girls’:

In one of her conversations, Tanya took pride in sticking to traditional values. She emphasized that while others might have let go of their culture, she entered the show draped in a saree to showcase that she has preserved hers. This remark immediately divided opinions in the house.

“I am here toh Tum Nai jeetoge”:

Tanya did not hold back when she directly told Gaurav Khanna, “Do you know why you can’t win? Because I’m here and I’m already the winner.” Her fearless confidence drew a savage comeback from Gaurav, who reminded her that she was only cast after Rakhi Sawant declined the offer. It became one of the week’s most talked-about exchanges.

“I have bodyguards”:

Beyond her anecdotes, Tanya also claimed to have personal security guards outside the Bigg Boss house. She spoke openly about how her family always ensures she is protected, reinforcing her image of being someone who lives life with a sense of power and privilege.

The '800 sarees' claim:

Adding to her extravagant persona, Tanya revealed that she entered with over 800 sarees and almost 50 kilos of jewellery. She said she plans on changing outfits multiple times a day, turning her wardrobe into a spectacle of its own

Tanya’s dramatic confidence, unapologetic one-liners and unusual claims have already made her one of the most polarising contestants of the season. Whether it is her talk of bodyguards, her obsession with sarees, or her bold face-offs with fellow contestants, she has ensured all eyes remain firmly on her.
