Neelam Giri Shares Insights on Her Relationship with Former Bestie Tanya Mittal

The latest season of Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, wrapped up on December 7, 2025, but the drama surrounding the contestants continues to unfold. A notable friendship that captured viewers’ attention was between spiritual influencer Tanya Mittal and Bhojpuri actress Neelam Giri. However, tensions arose when Tanya began associating with Farrhana Bhatt, leading to a fallout between the two friends.

In a candid interview with Viral Bhayani, Neelam Giri discussed her strained relationship with Tanya. She revealed that the rift began when Tanya unfollowed her on Instagram, prompting Neelam to reciprocate. Neelam expressed that the end of their friendship was painful, especially given their close bond inside the BB 19 house. Despite the hurt, she clarified that she holds no resentment towards Tanya, although she suggested that if Tanya has unresolved feelings, there’s little she can do about it.

Tanya Mittal, on her part, also spoke about the decision to unfollow Neelam, referencing negative comments made by Neelam after the show. She claimed that Neelam labeled her as “fake” and “a liar,” which damaged her trust. During a recent visit to Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple, Tanya hinted at the deterioration of their friendship and shared her disappointment over Neelam’s remarks during an interview.

The friendship breakdown appears to have roots in their interactions during Bigg Boss 19. Troubling dynamics arose when Tanya began forming a connection with Farrhana, who previously upset Neelam by shredding a family letter during a task. This incident left Neelam devastated and marked a turning point in the relationship. She publicly expressed her feelings of betrayal and questioned Tanya’s loyalty for engaging with someone who had hurt her deeply.

Tensions escalated as Neelam confronted Tanya, describing her behavior as “double-faced” and expressing her disbelief over Tanya’s connection with Farrhana. Neelam’s raw emotions and direct statements underscored the turmoil that unfolded within the Bigg Boss 19 residence and beyond.

As the aftermath of their friendship plays out on social media, fans are left wondering how the former friends will navigate their personal grievances and whether their paths may eventually cross in a more amicable way. The unfolding saga serves as a reminder of the intense relationships and conflicts that reality television can create among its participants.
