Even though Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19 has just begun, Tanya Mittal's name is already reverberating both within and outside the house. The Gwalior-born influencer and entrepreneur made her presence felt from the very first episode.
Most participants entered silently, but Tanya took a different approach, requesting her housemates to call her "Ma'am" or "Boss."
Tanya entered in a different manner than the majority of candidates, urging her housemates to call her "Ma'am" or "Boss." At first, the odd demand received harsh criticism, with many calling her "irritating." The same eccentricity, however, started to make her one of the most talked-about figures of the season as the days went by.
Tanya’s reputation for dramatics truly cemented itself in a promo released by Colors TV. Assigned the chore of sweeping, she transformed the mundane into a performance. In her signature style, she declared with exaggerated agony, “Mere haath kat rahe hain… Mujhe medical room ki zarurat hai.
Bohot jhaadoo laga li, Maine aaj ke liye... Comedian Pranit More was instantly drawn to her speech and dramatic facial gestures, calling her a "zinda laash." When he suggested she wear gloves, Tanya’s comeback was instant and hilarious: “But they won’t match my outfit.” The entire house, from Baseer Ali and Zeeshan Qadri to Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar—burst into laughter, confirming that Tanya had the rare gift of turning chores into entertainment.
Reactions flooded social media as soon as the teaser was released.Viewers couldn’t get enough of Tanya’s antics. Some praised her sense of humor, saying she had given “four years’ worth of entertainment in four days,” while others admitted they loved “whatever is wrong with her.” Many called her the “limelight of the season,” insisting that her over-the-top style was impossible to ignore. The greatest way to describe it was by one fan, who wrote, "She's so funny. Sunn k hassi nahi rukti meri iski baate sunn. The Bigg Boss 7 winner Gauahar Khan even contributed her voice to the chorus, saying, "You just can't ignore her."
Despite Tanya's humorous and theatrical Bigg Boss character, her real life provides a more nuanced picture. She already has more than 2.5 million Instagram followers, making her a well-known influencer. Her stream creates a strong personal brand that appeals to a wide range of viewers by fusing inspirational quotes, spiritual insights, and lifestyle advice. Tanya is also an entrepreneur and podcaster, someone who has used her voice beyond the realm of entertainment.
Her first brush with viral fame came years ago during the Maha Kumbh, where a candid video of her sharing a traumatic experience in a stampede struck a chord with viewers across India. Tanya revealed a new side in that moment, one that was not scared to show vulnerability in front of the world.
