Reality TV shows have a tendency to give the audience not only entertainment but also surprising, awakening moments. Something similar happened on Bigg Boss 19 when contestant Tanya Mittal bared her heart to spiritual guru Premanand Maharaj. The moment became an instant hit on the internet and raised endless rumors on the net.
In conversation with Premanand Maharaj, Tanya shared her internal struggles. She explained that in the outside world, she has everything money, fame and luxury but with all that she is still empty and miserable. She admitted that she finds herself lost in the race of life and no longer recognizes herself.
I have attained success and all earthly pleasures, but I still don't feel happy. Why is that?
This genuine confession touched the hearts of many viewers since it showed a different side of a contestant normally known for being beautiful and confident.
Premanand Maharaj listened attentively to Tanya and gave her a few but powerful words. He explained that happiness is not coming from external things like money, fame and luxury or what not. All of this give momentary satisfaction but not eternal peace of mind.
For him, genuine happiness results from spirituality, inner peace, and spiritual devotion. When one is deeply connected with themselves and their spiritual aspect, then and only then do they feel true joy and satisfaction.
His words emphasized a fact that most tend to neglect in this fast-moving life today, success on the outside matters nothing if the mind and heart are agitated within.
After the video clip had been uploaded to the internet, people responded angrily. Some appreciated Tanya for sharing such a personal experience, but others criticized her. Some netizens used inconsistencies in her character to justify their criticism.
For example, the majority of people alleged Tanya portrays herself differently on social media, with a glamorous persona, but when in the reality show, she stated that she is shy and simple. This contrasted impression gave some people the impression that she is "two-faced" and fake.
A person on social media commented, "Happiness will never come if you keep pretending to be something you're not. Be authentic that's the real key.
Whether or not they related to Tanya's character, the episode made the viewer realize a basic truth. In today's day and age, people seek outer success wealth, fame, notice, but still continue to feel incomplete. Tanya's question to Premanand Maharaj is a dilemma faced by millions of young people: combining outer success with inner happiness.
