Bigg Boss 19 has lately witnessed a change from the typical fights and controversies to some moments of warmth and maturity.
Participants Tanya Mittal and Amaal Mallik seem to be building a special relationship, one which seems to be more than just friendship—albeit one which they might not yet appreciate. Observant viewers have already observed gestures and interactions suggesting a stronger connection between the two.
In the episode aired on September 10, Tanya was seen wearing Amaal’s favourite aviators, which he has been sporting since entering the show and only removes while sleeping. Amaal has previously mentioned that these aviators are his most cherished accessory. That he allowed Tanya to wear them—revealing his own eyes on the show for the first time in 19 days—speaks volumes about their rapport. Bigg Boss summoned all the housemates to the lawn during a task, and Tanya was also seen confidently wearing Amaal's signature sunglasses.
For those who are behind, on September 9's episode, Kunickaa Sadanand's personal comments reduced Tanya to tears. It was Amaal's unwavering defense of his "good friend" that made him the hero of the episode. His strong words and protective behavior surprised co-contestants, making Tanya visibly proud. Famous for his tough and strong personality, Amaal sometimes shows a softer and gentler side of his self where Tanya is concerned.
During a recent emotional chat, Tanya revealed to Amaal that she gets affected the most when someone picks on him, although she can tolerate criticism for herself. To this, Amaal confessed that only Tanya—and Zeishan Quadri, a fellow contestant—can soothe and counsel him inside the house.
The highlight of the episode came as Amaal exchanged hands with Tanya, promising not to worry while he is present. The fact that Tanya took a long time letting go of his hand obviously indicated feelings more than mere friendship.
A series of little moments and gestures between Amaal and Tanya continue to unravel a growing spark, yet both contestants have apparently not realized the intensity of their connection as of yet.
