The Bigg Boss 19 house witnessed a surge of laughter as contestant Ashnoor Kaur delivered a hilarious mimicry of fellow housemate Tanya Mittal, specifically targeting her now-famous "elaichi paani" (cardamom water) and storytelling antics. The act, which also involved Amaal Mallik, left the other contestants in splits, providing a much-needed lighthearted moment in the often-tense environment of the Bigg Boss house.
The fun began with Ashnoor entering the living area carrying a tray of tea, playfully quizzing Gaurav Khanna, Abhishek Bajaj, and Shehbaz Badeshah to guess who she was impersonating. Gaurav, quick on the uptake, cautioned her against laughing too much, subtly hinting at Tanya's more serious demeanor. Ashnoor then launched into her mimicry, serving tea and uttering "Elaichi paani!". Gaurav responded, "Pehle Amaal ko do". Abhishek then joined in the fun and imitated Amaal Mallik. Ashnoor, staying in character, offered him tea, saying, "Amaal elaichi wala lo cup". Turning to Shehbaz, Ashnoor, in Tanya's tone, quipped, "Teri individuality nahi hai. Mujhe spelling nahi pata lekin main woh word use karungi,". The house erupted in laughter.
Ashnoor continued her act in the bedroom area, offering Amaal "elaichi waali chai" (cardamom tea). Amaal responded in jest, "Khud hi pee aur soja!" (Drink it yourself and sleep!). Keeping the act going, Ashnoor, still imitating Tanya, began narrating a story, "Dekh main tujhe kahaani sunaati hun… Ek tha Raja, ek thi Rani… Hamesha itna negative nahi sochte, Amaal,".
The channel shared a promo of the scene on Instagram, captioned, "Badal gayi ghar ki vibe, jab Ashnoor ne ki Tanya ki mimicry aur hass kar behaal hui poori tribe!" (The vibe of the house changed when Ashnoor mimicked Tanya and the whole tribe was in a state of laughter!). The clip quickly went viral, demonstrating the audience's appreciation for Ashnoor's comedic talent and the light-hearted break from the usual Bigg Boss drama.
The Bigg Boss 19 season, hosted by Salman Khan, premiered on August 24, 2025, on JioHotstar and Colors TV. Besides Ashnoor Kaur, Tanya Mittal, and Amaal Mallik, the show features a diverse mix of personalities, including Gaurav Khanna, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Baseer Ali, Pranit More, Kunickaa Sadanand, Zeishan Quadri, Abhishek Bajaj, Neelam Giri, Mridul Tiwari, Natalia Janoszek, and Farrhana Bhatt. Shehbaz Badesha and Malti Chahar entered the house as wild card contestants on Day 14 and Day 42, respectively.
Recently, Pranit More, who had to leave the show due to health concerns (dengue), made a re-entry, much to the delight of the other contestants and viewers.
The mimicry incident occurs amidst ongoing tensions and shifting dynamics within the Bigg Boss 19 house. Amaal Mallik, in particular, has been in the spotlight for his aggressive behavior and controversial remarks. A recent clip circulating online allegedly shows Amaal making threatening statements towards Tanya Mittal, sparking outrage among viewers who are demanding action against him. Cracks reportedly appeared in Amaal and Tanya's friendship after some housemates suggested that Tanya was influencing him.
Adding to the drama, Neelam Giri recently stated that Farrhana Bhatt would be her enemy for life.
As the show progresses towards its finale, reports suggest the possibility of an extension by a month, with rumors of new contestants entering the house. Currently, Gaurav Khanna, Farrhana Bhatt, Neelam Giri, Ashnoor Kaur, and Abhishek Bajaj are nominated for eviction.
