The most recent installment of Bigg Boss 19 became emotional when contestant Tanya Mittal wept uncontrollably after a profoundly painful comment was made to her during the process of nomination. During a timed task with fellow contestant Gaurav Khanna, housemate Kunickaa Sadanand tried to distract her by mentioning Tanya’s mother — an action that immediately went too far.
Kunickaa’s comment, “Your mother hasn’t taught you anything,” rendered Tanya visibly upset. Although she maintained concentration and carried out the task, later she emotionally broke down, disclosing traumatic childhood memories.
A Painful Past Revealed
Confessing in a heartfelt manner, Tanya revealed the emotional wounds she bears.
“My father would beat me, and my mother would protect me. I required permission to wear a saree or even step out. When I was 19, they tried to get me married. I wished to die.”
Tanya had termed her mother her biggest pillar of support — the sole individual who defended and empowered her amidst great adversity. Her outburst left the house in shock, leading contestants such as Gaurav, Amaal Mallik, Zeishan Quadri, and Pranit More to approach Kunickaa for her callous remark.
