Bigg Boss 19: Tanya Mittal's age has been falsified, leading people to claim she's a liar

Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan's hosting debut, Bigg Boss Season 19, has just begun, but more than the in-house tasks or debates, an online controversy has grabbed headlines. The reason is questions about contestant Tanya Mittal's age. Is Tanya hiding her real age? This debate erupted when a user on Reddit shared the show's official promotional graphic, which stated Tanya was born in 2000—meaning she's only 25 years old. But conversations inside the house and her old social media posts tell a different story.

How is 'time travel' of age possible?

In a Reddit thread, a user posted, "Tanya claims she hasn't left the house after 6 p.m. in 27-28 years. But according to promotional material, she's only 25 years old. What does that add up to?" As soon as this post went viral, fans began to scrutinize Tanya's statements on the show. In a video clip, Tanya is seen telling Neelam Giri, "I'm 30." In a later episode, during a conversation with Malti, she also stated her age as 30. This figure doesn't exactly match her birth year of 2000.

Fans also looked at Tanya's social media. In old Instagram reels and interviews, she has described herself as 29-30 years old. One user commented, "She's not lying, it was probably 2000 BC!" Another claimed to know Tanya's schoolmates, who say she's around 30, while her younger brother is 35. Some even commented on her appearance, saying, "She looks 35." But not everyone is ready to blame Tanya. Many fans are pointing fingers at the production team, claiming the show deliberately misrepresented their age to create controversy.

Not just Tanya, but Aawaz's profile is also 'young'?

This controversy wasn't limited to Tanya. Questions were also raised on social media about Aawaz Darbar's age. Aawaz had declared himself 37 years old in the house, but his official Bigg Boss profile listed his age as 32. One user tweeted, "Writing 2000 is completely stupid. Aawaz was born in 1993, which makes him around 32, but his own claims are different." Fans are now asking – why would anyone exaggerate their age? Is this part of the show's strategy, or a contestant's own ploy?

Who is Tanya? A look at her journey

Tanya Mittal is no stranger. This 26-year-old (according to official claims) resident of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, is an influencer, entrepreneur, and content creator. Miss Asia Tourism 2018 winner Tanya has earned over 2.5 million followers on Instagram and YouTube for her glamorous yet traditional lifestyle. Her brand, "Handmade Love by Tanya," focuses on handcrafted jewelry and accessories, with a reported monthly income of ₹6 lakh. As a spiritual podcaster, she discusses feminism and motivational topics. However, upon entering Bigg Boss, her luxury claims—such as bringing 800 saris, mentioning 150 bodyguards, and recounting "saving 100 people" at the Kumbh Mela—made her a controversy queen.

A section of fans support Tanya, saying it's all a drama on the show. Others are calling her "fake rich." Her father, Amit Mittal, is a real estate businessman who stays away from the limelight. Recently, Tanya's parents issued a statement saying, "It's emotional to see our daughter on the country's biggest reality show."

What do experts and fans say?

This controversy highlights a long-standing tradition of Bigg Boss – where questions about age, background, and storylines are common. One expert said, "Age errors happen on reality shows, but here, the detective skills of fans made it big." #TanyaAgeMystery is trending on Reddit and Twitter, with everything from memes to theories. Some believe Tanya is 31, as some local reports claimed.

Bigg Boss 19 is still a long way off, and this age controversy seems to be just the beginning. Will Tanya address this on Weekend Ka Vaar? Or will this spark new drama inside the house? For now, fans are waiting – because the truth is always the biggest twist on Bigg Boss.
