Who is Tanya Mittal from Bigg Boss 19?
Tanya Mittal is a fashion entrepreneur and influencer from Delhi, who shot into the Bigg Boss 19 spotlight with her outsize personality, quick wit, and, let’s not mince words, occasional temper tantrums. On paper, she’s got the résumé: founder of her own jewelry startup, a pretty substantial social following, and a knack for charming panelists during weekend episodes. In practice? She’s all messy buns, half-eaten packets of chips, and dramatic late-night strategy sessions—endearing in a way that feels both relatable and faintly risky for reality TV.

I remember one late episode (the one with everyone huddling in the garden, rain hammering outside) when Tanya, in her neon pyjamas, got the housemates talking about their childhood fears.
She wasn’t afraid to admit she sometimes still checks under her bed. More seriously, she’s often the person reminding everyone to drink water (maybe too often—people started calling her “Momma Mittal” for a week). Sure, people fight in the house, but Tanya brings a surprisingly gentle humor that sometimes shocks her rivals into just backing off.
Was she cast as the “firebrand”? Maybe. But by week six, her reputation had shifted—no longer just “that glamorous Delhi girl,” but the person who sticks up for the quieter contestants after nominations. Rumor is she once stole an extra chapati for a friend. If that isn’t classic Bigg Boss underdog energy, what is?
Tanya Mittal Age
At 26 years old, Tanya’s got that mix of youthful ambition and just enough what-the-hell attitude to keep viewers guessing.
Tanya Mittal Father
Tanya’s father, Amit Mittal, is a businessman with a reputation for being as private as Tanya is explicit—he’s rarely seen at media events, and there’s definitely no “Mittal family launch party” vibe happening in the press. But the rare times Tanya talks about him, it’s with genuine affection (and occasional exasperation, the way daughters sometimes do).
On Bigg Boss, she’s shared anecdotes that range from laugh-out-loud to deeply human. For instance:
She once revealed her dad has a superstition about lucky socks—she wore them on nomination days, just in case.
Amit is apparently the reason she loves spicy food; he once dared her to out-eat him at a family dinner. She lost, but swore revenge. Her chili tolerance is now legend in the Bigg Boss house.
When Tanya won a college award, the only thing her dad texted her was “Good job, now wash your car.” Does Amit Mittal sound like peak dad? Maybe, but those small stories make their bond feel real.
Tanya mentions that her family’s support has been steady but low-key—not the scene-stealing parent type you see on finale night, but the kind sending memes in WhatsApp groups and sneaking votes in under family aliases.
Tanya Mittal Career
Tanya’s career is mostly centered around her jewelry and fashion brand, which she launched before stepping into Bigg Boss fame. She started off as a freelance designer, selling quirky pieces online. The hustle wasn’t always roses—one story she shared involved accidentally shipping a bracelet to the wrong customer and turning that mishap into a viral Instagram moment (the two are now friends).
She’s known for using social media creatively: organizing virtual styling sessions and live Q&A’s with young designers.
Before Bigg Boss, Tanya landed some minor celebrity collaborations, but she’s always played up her “self-made” angle, sharing documented flops as much as her wins.
While her jewelry startup boasts a strong “boss lady” vibe, people in her circle say she’s happiest brainstorming with college interns and letting them run wild with ideas. Even in the Bigg Boss house, her fashion advice is prized and sometimes, let’s be honest, imposed on unsuspecting co-stars.
How She Entered Bigg Boss 19?
Tanya got into Bigg Boss 19 pretty much the same way she does everything: part planning, part impulse, part “let’s just see where this goes”. She’d spent years doubling as a fashion entrepreneur and digital personality—think product shoots, goofy reels, and tag-teaming causes like sustainable jewelry. One video of her doing tipsy karaoke at a friend’s launch party reportedly caught casting attention.

Rumor is, one of her brand’s flash mob events went viral locally, and a producer reached out for interviews.
She went through multiple auditions. Her “no filter” answers, especially about tough reality TV topics (getting locked out of kitchens, or how to survive a house with zero privacy), helped her stand out.
Tanya herself joked that her mom sent in her audition tape without telling her (“I was mortified, then weirdly relieved”).
By week one, she was already pushing boundaries—winning fans for her honesty, and occasionally getting into hot water for refusing to back down during house arguments. If there’s a formula for landing a Bigg Boss role, Tanya’s journey looks like: hustle + chance + sheer weirdness = reality TV magic.
Tanya Mittal isn’t just another reality show archetype. She’s plenty of things—flawed, funny, overly honest, and sentimental when she thinks no one’s looking. Some contestants are there for the spotlight; Tanya feels like she’s there to test herself, mess things up, help friends, and accidentally create new Bigg Boss lore (Exhibit A: the time she hid confetti in the microwave...).
