On December 10, Riddhima took to Instagram to share a detailed post expressing her frustration. She claimed Tanya’s team had treated her poorly despite her consistent support throughout the reality show. Alongside her note, Riddhima also posted a video in which Tanya was questioned about her sarees. (Image: Instagram)
“I have always supported Tanya in every interview, every byte, every voting video. Even in her own interviews, I stood by her. Yet after sourcing clothes for her, we were met with attitude,” Riddhima wrote. (Image: Instagram)
She clarified the distinction between her role as a stylist and that of a designer, stressing that she had arranged every saree and lehenga for Tanya over the course of a week. “All the outfits were expensive, from well-known brands, and none have been returned. Not once did they appreciate the effort. Instead, she made faces and spoke dismissively about tailors and designers. Is this what respect looks like?” (Image: Instagram)
Riddhima alleged that Tanya’s team pressured her with ultimatums, saying payments would be withheld if outfits didn’t arrive on time. She recounted an incident when Tanya needed an outfit for a Siddhi Vinayak visit at short notice. Despite arranging everything within an hour and even covering delivery costs herself, Riddhima said she received little acknowledgment. (Image: Instagram)
She revealed that while Tanya eventually transferred ₹50,000 for one week of styling, several other dues remain unsettled. “What about the last Weekend Ka Vaar outfit? What about the Grand Finale look I styled for her brother? And yesterday’s lehenga worth ₹58,000? None of those payments have come through,” she wrote, adding that she had fulfilled her responsibilities every single time. (Image: Instagram)
Tanya Mittal rose to prominence during her stint on Bigg Boss 19, where she finished as the third runner-up. A spiritual influencer by profession, she often spoke about her passion for sarees and claimed to have carried nearly 800 of them into the Bigg Boss house. (Image: Instagram)
Despite the controversy, Tanya’s career appears to be moving forward. She has already signed an acting project with producer Ekta Kapoor and is expected to begin her journey in the entertainment industry soon. (Image: Instagram)
