The already highly charged atmosphere of Bigg Boss 19 has flared up again over the recent explosion of one of the most frequently heard friendships there. Contestant Neelam Giri has, in a public and emotional outburst, targeted Tanya Mittal, her very close friend, accusing the bond of being a `dogla dosti`- a link that qualifies as duplicitous- or hypocritical friendship.
The fate of other contestants has been forced into choosing sides, and even the cost involved in loyalty is asked. The trigger for this keeping open disunity, however, appears to be Tanya’s growing, in Neelam’s eyes, closeness with another housemate, Farrhana Bhatt, which, for Neelam, is an act of the greatest betrayal considering her own severe ongoing clashes with Farrhana.
Kya aaj ghar mein ek aur dosti hogi khatam? 🫣

Neelam made it clear: “Mereko dosti main doglayi panti bilkul bhi nahi chahiye. Dosti khatam ho jata hai wahan pe.” (I don’t want any double-faced behavior in friendship. The friendship ends there.)
The Inter-Contestant Politics: Farrhana Factor
It is Tanya’s so-called ‘strategic inconsistency’ that Neelam perceives as the crux of her grievance. Neelam, plainly incensed, rather like a wounded lioness, says how could Tanya even think of being friends with Farrhana Bhatt, the woman who has allegedly caused her the most damage emotionally inside the house.
This argument underlines the cutthroat nature of the game, where often questions of personal loyalty are sacrificed at the altar of strategic alliances.
Many housemates, including Neelam, think that even if under attack, a friend’s support should never waver. Fellow housemates like Amaal Mallik wasted no time in vocal support of Neelam: “Jo Neelam ka nahi ho sakta woh humaari bhi kiyun hogi?” If she can’t be a friend to Neelam, how can she be a friend to us? This very question stands as the new dividing line in the house.
The Fallout: Friendship and Backlash
The fallout was immediate. Tanya, feeling defensive, was quick to retort: “Chalo dosti humaari bhi khatam aaj ke baad” (Alright, our friendship ends from today as well), which seemed to comfort her acceptance of the split.
But from there, other housemates, especially Nehal Chudama, strongly condemned Tanya’s behavior, calling her wahiyat (terrible) and accusing her of preparing to play the victim card.
The pythonic turn of events indicates that Tanya’s standing in the house seems to have been considerably weakened with many, viewing her connections as merely transactional, thus sealing the public end of the once-strong Neelam-Tanya friendship, and opening the way for the new phase of the game.
