Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal fiercely confronted housemate Kunickaa Sadanand after a comment about her mother during a nomination task triggered an emotional breakdown. Tanya explicitly told Kunickaa that she had no right to drag her mother into their arguments on the show.
The drama intensified in Tuesday’s episode when Tanya retaliated during the nomination task, directly addressing Kunickaa’s hurtful remark: “You don’t know how to cook, didn’t your mom teach you anything?”
Tanya passionately retorted, “I can forget all your mistakes, no matter how much you shouted or scolded me, and everything you said, good or bad. On the first day, I made it clear that my mom is my whole world… You can say anything about me, but don’t talk about my mom.” She emphasized her deep emotional connection to her mother, stating, “Even when I’m cutting a cucumber, I think of my mom.”
Tanya continued, “You were not able to handle ugly remarks on your family. How can you expect a person to stay calm when her mother is being dragged into matters related to the show?” She further reminded Kunickaa about the importance of choosing words wisely, especially when making personal attacks. “You feel I am fake, but that’s not true; this is within you. I am a genuine person. That’s why I get emotional thinking how can a person think bad about someone’s mother,” she concluded.
The simmering tensions between Tanya and Kunickaa had boiled over during a nomination task on Monday, where housemates were tasked with distracting pairs counting for 19 minutes. Kunickaa’s personal jabs about Tanya’s mother and upbringing left Tanya in tears, prompting fellow contestant Gaurav Khanna to calm her down and call out Kunickaa for crossing a line.
