Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal is back in the headlines after seemingly confirming that her ex-boyfriend is an MLA. In the latest episode, Shehbaz Badesha delighted the housemates by reciting shayaris. Soon, Tanya Mittal joined him, and her shayari about her ex-boyfriend hinted at his profession.
Tanya said, “Aaj bhi chup chupke voh mujhse milne aata hai. Aine main jisse tum dekhte ho voh mera nahi uska chehra aata hai (Even today, he comes to meet me in secret. In the mirror you look into, it is not my face but his that appears).”
She then added, “Puri duniya ne kaha tha ki voh mere layak nahi hai. Main kaise bataun tujhe Shehbaz, pure desh main uske jaisa koi Vidhayak nahi hai (The whole world said he was not right for me. How do I explain to you, Shehbaz — there is no MLA like him in the entire country).”
When Shehbaz asked if her ex-boyfriend was an MLA, Tanya didn’t answer. However, her shayari confirmed the mystery man’s profession. Tanya has confirmed on the show that she has been in two relationships. One of her exes, Balraj Singh, recently made headlines when he slammed the influencer.
“Our friendship didn’t last because you are fake. Your biggest problem is satisfaction. If you feel like saying something to someone, you’ll make that person your friend, say it to them to satisfy yourself, and then later abandon them and misbehave with them,” he said.
He also took a dig at her claim of drinking water only in silver utensils. Balraj said, “Aisa nahi hai. Unhone plastic ki bottle mein bhi paani piya hai aur glass mein bhi. Hasi mazak mein bola main samajh sakta hoon. Lekin aapki asliyat saamne aane wali hai.” According to him, the Bigg Boss audience can easily spot pretence, and he warned Tanya that she must drop the act if she wants to stay longer in the game.
