Mumbai Sep 29 (NationPress) The recent episode of Bigg Boss Season 19, titled Weekend Ka Vaar, took a deeply emotional turn when contestant Tanya Mittal was left in tears after discovering that her confidant in the house, Amaal Mallik, had spoken negatively about her. Guest Gauahar Khan, a former winner of Bigg Boss Season 7, confronted Amaal and disclosed that he called Tanya a “chep” (clingy).
This revelation shocked Tanya, who viewed Amaal as one of her key allies and closest friends in the show. Overwhelmed by her emotions, she was seen crying inconsolably and withdrawing from him.
Tanya openly shared how deeply the remark affected her, especially given her trust in Amaal during trying times inside the BB 19 house.
Host Salman Khan, returning for his weekend session, also addressed the matter, noting Amaal's visible guilt. He spent a significant amount of time apologizing to Tanya, pleading for her forgiveness.
Amaal insisted that his comment was not meant to be derogatory and expressed regret over his choice of words. Despite this, Tanya remained aloof, giving him a chilly response and stating that while she was okay, she felt emotionally unsettled.
Her distress was further heightened during the same episode when Abhishek Malhan and Harsh Gujral criticized her on stage, subtly mocking her for her perceived dishonesty, which only added to her vulnerable state.
Viewers have praised Gauahar Khan for bringing Amaal's backbiting behavior to light and calling him out for his two-faced actions. Throughout the past month of Bigg Boss 19, Tanya Mittal and Amaal Mallik have been portrayed as growing closer, providing each other support amidst the chaos.
