New Delhi:Bigg Boss 19 recently caused a stir with social media followers, revealing that it shocked fans and contestants alike. While many celebrated their rising popularity, Tanya Mittal’s reaction drew strong criticism after she appeared unhappy with her Instagram followers growing by 1.2 million.
The internet was flooded with comments, calling her ungrateful despite her impressive growth from 2.5 million to 3.7 million followers. Tanya’s reality check about follower counts adds a fresh perspective on what truly matters inside the Bigg Boss house.
Tanya exposes the follower myth
Tanya Mittal told fellow contestant Kunickaa Sadanand that Shehbaz was overreacting to Farhana’s growing follower count for no good reason. Kunickaa mentioned that a follower boost always feels good, but Tanya countered with a clear reality check: Bigg Boss is watched by families, not Instagram followers. She added an important point: if follower numbers truly mattered, contestant Awez wouldn’t have been evicted since he had more followers than even Mridul. Tanya’s comment highlights the difference between social media popularity and actual game impact inside the house. Fans can watch more of this episode on the #24HrsChannel of #BiggBoss19, streaming exclusively on the JioHotstar App.

Follower reveal task sparks drama
In a special ration task, contestants had to choose between more rations or viewing their social media follower counts. Ashnoor Kaur, Malti Chahar, and Pranit More opted for extra ration, while Farrhana Bhatt, Amaal Mallik, Tanya Mittal, and Kunickaa Sadanand eagerly checked their followers. Farrhana was thrilled as her count jumped from 40,000 to over 1 million, while Amaal celebrated crossing 5.2 million followers. Tanya, on the other hand, appeared disappointed despite a jump from 2.5 million to 3.7 million followers, telling Farrhana and Kunickaa she expected her count to hit at least 5 million.
Internet slams Tanya’s reaction
Social media users quickly slammed Tanya for being ungrateful about the follower increase. One comment said, “And then she asks everyone whether she is spiritual or not. A spiritual person is happy with both gain and loss; it should not matter.” Another user wrote, “Time to unfollow her.” Jokes also surfaced: “Follower ki factory mein production kam ho gaya hai, is liye maalkin naraz hai (The production in the follower factory has decreased, which is why the madam is upset).” Some questioned, “Uski followers ki bhi factory hogi na?” Others criticised her for complaining instead of appreciating the fan support despite facing weeks of bashing.
New captain controversy adds to chaos
In another twist, Gaurav was given the option to become house captain himself, accepting the risk of nominations and less ration, or appoint Shehbaz, which would ensure safety and 100 per cent ration for all. Gaurav chose to become the captain, leading to accusations of unfairness and cheating from Amaal and Shehbaz. The tension built as Bigg Boss retaliated in promos, ignoring housemates’ complaints. The house saw fights between Amaal, Farrhana, and Gaurav, while Shehbaz apologised to Bigg Boss for disrespect.
The latest episode, packed with drama and real talk on follower culture, is streaming on Colours TV and JioHotstar at 9 pm and 10:30 pm, respectively. This mix of social media reveals, game strategy, and heated housemates’ drama keeps the Bigg Boss 19 excitement alive for viewers everywhere.
