Mumbai, Sep 11 (NationPress) – The recent episodes of Bigg Boss 19 have showcased some heartfelt and tender moments following a streak of insensitivity, conflicts, and intense confrontations. Contestants Tanya Mittal and Amaal Mallik appear to be developing feelings for each other, a realization that seems to be dawning on them slowly. However, keen viewers have already picked up on their interactions, which suggest that their relationship extends beyond mere friendship.

In the episode aired on September 10, Tanya was spotted wearing Amaal's cherished aviators—his signature eyewear that he has worn since entering the house, only removing them during sleep. Amaal has previously mentioned that these aviators are his all-time favorite. The fact that he allowed Tanya to don them, while he revealed his bare eyes for the first time in 19 days, speaks volumes about their connection. During a task, Bigg Boss summoned all contestants to the lawn area, where Tanya confidently sported Amaal's aviators as she prepared for the challenge.

For those unfamiliar, following Kunickaa Sadanand's hurtful comments directed at Tanya, which left the young entrepreneur in tears, Amaal Mallik's firm defense of his “good friend” Tanya during the episode on September 9 positioned him as the hero of the moment. His assertive stance and resolute actions caught the attention of fellow contestants, particularly Tanya, who looked visibly proud of him. Known for his strong demeanor, Amaal has often revealed a softer side when in Tanya's presence.

In a touching conversation, Tanya shared with Amaal that she feels affected when someone targets him with hurtful words. While she can manage any criticism aimed at her, she struggles with attacks on Amaal. In response, Amaal acknowledged that only Tanya has the ability to soothe him and keep him in check among the other contestants. He also mentioned that fellow housemate Zeishan Quadri positively influences him, stating he listens primarily to Tanya and Zeishan.

The standout moment of that episode was when Amaal assured Tanya not to worry while he was by her side, sealing it with a handshake. Tanya's emotional grip on his hand suggested that her feelings for him may surpass friendship. Numerous small interactions between Amaal and Tanya are hinting at a certain chemistry, yet both seem unaware of the growing spark between them.
