Bigg Boss 19: Amaal Mallik Labels Tanya Mittal "Fake," Friendship Hits Breaking Point

The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 delivered a seismic shift in alliances, as singer-composer Amaal Mallik publicly severed ties with close confidante Tanya Mittal, branding her "fake" and an "attention seeker" amid escalating house tensions involving Neelam Giri and Farhana Bhatt. What began as a brewing rift between Tanya—once Neelam's staunch ally—and Farhana, who had previously triggered an emotional breakdown for Neelam during a task, snowballed into a full-blown confrontation.

Housemates, including Neelam, ganged up on Tanya for prioritising her friendship with Farhana, accusing her of betrayal and holding her responsible for the group's discord. The isolation left Tanya reeling, but it was Amaal's cold detachment that stung deepest, transforming their once-unbreakable bond—forged through mutual emotional support in the house's early weeks—into outright hostility.

Amaal, who had leaned on Tanya for reassurance during misunderstandings and low moments, dismissed her pleas for solidarity, remarking that she thrived on the spotlight and would "probably be happy now that everyone is talking about her." The barb echoed through the house, amplifying Tanya's sense of abandonment, especially after she had defended Amaal relentlessly. Wild card entrant Malti Chahar's influence appeared pivotal, as she reportedly swayed Amaal by labelling Tanya's loyalties as "purely strategic", planting seeds of doubt that fractured their dynamic.

This fallout aligns with prior frictions, including an earlier kitchen spat where Amaal threatened violence over a coffee mug incident, gesturing aggressively toward Tanya in a conversation with Baseer Ali and Zeishan Quadri, raising red flags about his temperament. Social media buzzed with clips of the exchange, where Amaal warned Tanya against aligning too closely with Kunickaa Sadanand, advising her to "keep a safe distance", further underscoring the crumbling trust.

Tanya's attempts to reconcile with Neelam fell flat, as she lamented the one-sided nature of their friendship, suggesting Neelam's reactions were driven by "convenience" rather than genuine care. By the episode's end, Tanya retreated into isolation, grappling with betrayal from her inner circle, while Amaal aligned more firmly with Neelam and Gaurav Khanna's faction. The drama spilt into the Weekend Ka Vaar, where host Salman Khan staunchly backed Tanya, rebuking the housemates for ganging up and issuing a "last warning" to Amaal over his conduct, even as Gaurav clashed with him in a heated exchange—calling Baseer Ali "Amaal's secretary" in a promo that went viral. A double eviction of Nehal Chudasama and Baseer Ali added to the chaos, with no secret room twist, leaving fans speculating on Tanya's solo gameplay ahead.

Bigg Boss 19, airing on Colours TV since October 6, thrives on such volatile relationships, reminiscent of iconic feuds like Sidharth Shukla's isolation in Season 13, but with a fresh ensemble blending celebrities like Amaal and influencers like Tanya. Viewer reactions on X highlight polarised views: some decry Amaal's "toxic" flip as performative, while others expose Tanya's "double-faced" tactics via Neelam's revelations, fuelling hashtags like #TanyaExposed and #AmaalStandsWithNeelam. As nominations loom, Tanya's resilience—or potential exit—could redefine the season's underdog narrative, proving once again that in the Bigg Boss pressure cooker, loyalty is the ultimate casualty.
