'Bigg Boss 19’s Tanya Mittal called Farrhana Bhatt a ‘negative character’? Here's what we know

‘Bigg Boss 19’ fans know there’s never a dull moment, but the drama between Tanya Mittal and Farrhana Bhatt really had people talking. Once the show wrapped, Tanya didn’t mince words; she straight-up called Farhana a “negative character” and opened up about how their friendship went south.

What happened

Tanya didn’t sugarcoat her side of things. In an interview with Film Window, she explained, “Mera aur Farrhana ka bond aesa tha ki Farahana ko last tak yeh lagta tha ki main bahut tez hu, Farahana mujhe kehti ki main ache dikhne k liye natak karti ho. Farrhana ne meri status ko kabhi question nahi kiya, but mujhe as a person hamesha question kiya, woh hamesha bolti thi mene unse dosti ache dikhne k liye kiya, mujhe yeh baat bahut hurt karti thi, mein kya achi dikhungi ek negative character se dosti karke? [My bond with Farrhana was such that till the very end, she felt I was very smart and too clever. She kept saying I was only pretending to be nice just to look good on TV. She never questioned my status, but she always doubted me as a person. She’d tell me our friendship was just for appearances, and honestly, that hurt. How am I supposed to look good by being friends with someone so negative?]"




For Tanya, the constant doubts and accusations coming from Farrhana created a barrier to their relationship, and there was no way that they could be friends because Tanya felt that Farrhana brought too much negativity and suspicion to every conversation they had, making it impossible for her to build trust. For this reason, Tanya continued to refer to her as a negative person. It was not just a one-time incident between them but rather an ongoing pattern.

Beyond the Farrhana Bhatt fiasco

But Farhana wasn’t the only one Tanya clashed with. Amaal Mallik, the singer, accused Tanya on X (Twitter) of running a paid PR campaign against him. Tanya hit back in her interview, saying, “Why would I want to be linked with Amaal? If I did, I’d have shared my number and talked to him. It’s obvious I’m not desperate for that connection. If I really wanted to be friends, I’d have met him at a party or something. Instead, he’s targeting my fans and tweeting about them. I’m not even on Twitter, so I have no idea what’s going on. Why is he making such a fuss?”

She went on, “Did I ever say anything to Amaal’s fans? He’s telling people I’m using paid media and trying to associate with him. I didn’t even bother to read his full tweet — what’s the point? I haven’t messaged, called, or tried to meet him. Anyone with opinions about me, good or bad, I just leave those relationships as they are. I’m not chasing anyone.”
