Bigg Boss 19 fame content creator Tanya Mittal has landed in the middle of a social media controversy after a recent remark about her fashion choices sparked criticism online. The internet personality, who often shares lifestyle and promotional content with her followers, is now facing backlash for a comment many users felt mocked traditional attire.
In a recent post, Tanya appeared in a short pink dress while promoting a product. During the video, she jokingly said, “Mera boyfriend taras gaya mujhe short dress mai dekhne ke liye, behenji banke ghoom rahi thi,” referring to the times she usually wears traditional outfits like sarees.
While the remark may have been intended humorously, several social media users did not take it lightly. Many accused her of belittling sarees by associating them with the term “behenji,” which is often used online in a derogatory way to describe someone as outdated or overly traditional.
The video quickly began circulating across social platforms, and the comment section filled with criticism. Some users pointed out that Tanya frequently promotes sarees and traditional Indian wear on her social media pages, which made the remark appear contradictory.
One user wrote, “Thodi overacting kam kardo,” while another commented, “Agayi sanskari ladki.” Others went a step further, calling her out for what they described as performative promotion of Indian outfits.
A user also questioned the remark, writing, “What do you mean by ‘behenji’? Kya saree ko backward bol rahi ho aap?”
The backlash has sparked a broader conversation online about the way traditional Indian clothing is sometimes casually mocked in everyday language, despite being widely celebrated in fashion and cultural spaces.
As the clip continues to circulate, Tanya Mittal has yet to publicly respond to the criticism. Meanwhile, the debate around her comment highlights how quickly social media audiences react when influencers appear to contradict the image they project online.
