Bigg Boss 19 finalist Tanya Mittal is once again in the spotlight — but this time, she’s setting the record straight. After grabbing attention inside the house for her bold one-liners and grand lifestyle claims, Tanya has now addressed one of the most talked-about statements linked to her name: the viral claim that she travels with 150 bodyguards.
Turns out, she says, that was never her line to begin with.
“I Never Said I Have 150 Bodyguards”
After returning to Gwalior post Bigg Boss, Tanya recently appeared in a video shared by the YouTube channel News Pinch, where she offered a tour of one of her factories. During the conversation, she directly tackled the bodyguard controversy that followed her throughout the season.
Tanya firmly denied ever claiming she has 150 bodyguards, saying no such clip exists online. According to her, the statement was taken out of context and snowballed into a rumour during the show.
She explained that fellow contestant Zeishan Quadri had jokingly exaggerated something she said. Tanya clarified that she had mentioned having over 150 staff members, not bodyguards — a detail that was twisted and repeated until it became one of the season’s most debated moments.
What She Actually Meant
While dismissing the exaggerated figure, Tanya did confirm that she does have personal security — something she says has been in place for several years. However, she avoided giving any numbers and stressed that there was never an attempt to project an over-the-top image.
According to Tanya, the factory tour itself had a purpose: to show that she wasn’t faking her background or exaggerating her life story on reality TV.
Business, Not Bragging
During the video, Tanya also spoke briefly about her business ventures, revealing that she runs a textile factory, a pharmaceutical unit, and a gift manufacturing setup. She made it clear that she wasn’t trying to flaunt her success but wanted to counter the narrative that painted her as dishonest during the show.
She admitted she couldn’t showcase everything publicly, but felt it was important to back up what she had said inside the Bigg Boss house.
Life After Bigg Boss 19
Tanya Mittal finished her Bigg Boss 19 journey as the second runner-up, emerging as one of the season’s most talked-about contestants. Her spiritual outlook, confident personality, and controversial statements kept her in the headlines throughout the show.
Adding to the momentum, Tanya has reportedly bagged an acting project backed by Ekta Kapoor, marking her entry into scripted entertainment. She is expected to begin this new chapter soon, following her reality TV success.
Final Words
Reality TV often blurs the line between fact, perception, and exaggeration — and Tanya Mittal’s clarification highlights exactly that. Whether loved or questioned, she remains one of Bigg Boss 19’s most memorable faces, now focused on moving forward rather than clearing old rumours.
