What's the story
Tanya Mittal has become one of the most controversial contestants on Bigg Boss 19. Her frequent references to her family's wealth and factories have left many questioning her background. While she claims her family is famous in Gwalior and owns several factories, a journalist from India Forums has revealed that these factories are not as big as she described on national television.

The online chatter intensified as social media users started probing her father's identity.

Some online sources claim her father is Ravi Mittal, a Delhi-based entrepreneur credited with constructing over 400 flats in the city. If verified, this would confirm her wealthy roots.
