Bigg Boss 19 is buzzing again — this week, Tanya Mittal’s off-color joke about Pranit More’s skin tone created a moment that’s equal parts awkward and unforgettable.
It started casually when Tanya turned to Pranit and asked with a mischievous tone:
“Pranit, I want to learn how to do makeup. Can you teach me?”
She laughed while another contestant giggled too. Then she added, with a half-smirk:
“See how all the other girls look beautiful all day, and I look flat… just like yako, every single day.”
Pranit had a choice — take offense or rise above. His response was graceful and uniquely true to himself:
“I don’t do that. It’s my natural skin — whatever it is. If you want advice, learn from someone qualified, not from me. I’m just natural; I wash my face and move on. That’s me.”
His reaction turned heads. Instead of conflict, we sensed quiet dignity. And though fans are calling Tanya’s remark “cringey” and “tone-deaf,” they’re also praising Pranit’s poise.
One fan wrote:
“Tanya’s joke was low, but Pranit’s reply was high-class. Showed that real strength is staying true.”
A few others chimed in:
“This is exactly what Bigg Boss needs — clean comebacks, not chaos.”
No major fight erupted, but the episode created ripples — especially on social.
