Actress Chahat Pandey has recently made headlines for her scathing remarks about fellow actress and Bigg Boss 19 contestant, Tanya Mittal. In an exclusive interview, Pandey didn't hold back, labeling Mittal as "fake" and questioning the authenticity of her persona inside the Bigg Boss house.
Pandey's criticism centers around Mittal's perceived attempts to project a false image. "The contestant I dislike the most and find extremely fake is Tanya Mittal," Pandey stated, emphasizing her strong disapproval. She went on to accuse Mittal of using lies excessively, suggesting that while a little bit of falsehood is acceptable, Mittal's fabrications are disproportionate. Pandey believes Mittal's relationships within the house seem forced and strategic, designed to secure support and prolong her stay in the game.
Pandey challenged Mittal's claims about her life and struggles, suggesting that Mittal considers even minor inconveniences as significant hardships. Pandey also took a dig at Mittal's claims about her luxurious lifestyle, expressing a desire to visit Mittal's home after she leaves Bigg Boss. Pandey sarcastically remarked that she, along with others, is eager to see how Mittal's house compares to a seven-star hotel.
Tanya Mittal, since entering Bigg Boss 19, has been a prominent figure due to her statements about her lavish lifestyle. She has spoken about traveling to Agra for coffee, enjoying delicacies from specific hotels in Delhi, and importing biscuits from London, and baklava from Dubai. Mittal has also claimed to own multiple cars, employ numerous servants and bodyguards, and possess a collection of 800 sarees. These claims have garnered attention and sparked debate, with some viewers and celebrities questioning their validity.
Mittal, a 24-year-old influencer, entrepreneur, podcaster, and former model, is known for her confident demeanor and entrepreneurial spirit. She holds the title of Miss Asia Tourism Universe 2018. Mittal founded a handicraft brand with an initial investment of just Rs. 500, eventually earning her the title of Youngest Millionaire Entrepreneur with a net worth of approximately Rs. 2 crores.
In response to the criticism, Mittal addressed the accusations of being a "liar" in a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19. She explained that her family has never requested financial assistance from her, allowing her to spend her earnings on personal pursuits and desires. Mittal also mentioned owning a Cartier gift card worth Rs 5 lakh and gift cards from 30–40 other luxury brands, along with her market and a music academy in Gwalior.
Adding another layer to the controversy, social media influencer Faizan Ansari has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Tanya Mittal, accusing her of fraud and misrepresenting her personal life on Bigg Boss 19. Ansari alleges that Mittal defrauded people and caused her boyfriend, Balraj, to be jailed. He has called for her arrest and claims that Mittal is tarnishing the reputation of Gwalior.
Chahat Pandey's comments have ignited a social media debate, with some users supporting her views and others defending Tanya Mittal. Some have criticized Pandey for judging Mittal, while others have echoed Pandey's sentiments about Mittal's alleged falsehoods.
