Tanya Mittal: Tanya Mittal gives a blunt response to critics after being called "fake," and also addresses the issue of having bodyguards.

The journey of the reality show 'Bigg Boss 19' may have ended, but contestant Tanya Mittal, who was a part of the show, continues to be in the headlines. Tanya, who finished in fourth place, has spoken openly for the first time about her personal choices, lifestyle, and the questions being raised about her having a bodyguard since leaving the show. Often known for her outspoken nature, Tanya made it clear that her life runs on her own terms and no one needs to interfere.

Why question a woman's need for security?

In an interview with 'Hindustan Times' after the show, Tanya said that the unnecessary issues people are creating about her having a bodyguard surprised her. She said that as soon as a woman makes a slightly unusual or different choice, people make it a topic of discussion. Tanya says that security is not the right of a particular gender or only for big celebrities. If a person can invest in their security, it is entirely their personal choice. Whether they want security or not – it is their individual right, and there is no point in questioning it.

Tanya responds to being called 'fake.'

Inside the Bigg Boss's house, Tanya was often accused of being 'fake'. On social media, too, some people called her lifestyle and way of speaking pretentious. But Tanya says that she has always been a straightforward and free-spirited person. She said that she comes from a family where she has received a comfortable environment, and she spends her hard-earned money as she pleases. Responding to those who questioned this, she said that if a 30-year-old woman can fulfill her needs and desires, it is wrong to call it pretense or artificiality.

What Tanya said about her Bigg Boss journey

Summing up her Bigg Boss 19 journey, Tanya said that she knows that sometimes people find her 'too much'. Her bold and straightforward style of speaking doesn't appeal to everyone. But she has always lived life on her own terms, and that's what makes her strong. Tanya believes that the most important thing in life is self-acceptance. She said that she doesn't believe in changing herself to meet anyone's expectations. Tanya also gave a powerful performance on the show's grand finale night. After her eviction, Salman told her that she had played the game very well and that she had been very entertaining on the show.
