‘Social Media Wouldn’t Spare Me Either’: Tanya Mittal Speaks Out on Online Hate

Pranit More is facing flak from various quarters for some days now. This comes after he made some statements regarding '370 Biryani', which led to him getting a lot of flak for the same. On the other hand, we have Tanya Mittal from Bigg Boss 19 who expressed her view on the matter.

Tanya Mittal recently appeared on a YouTube show and addressed the matter of the controversy of Pranit. It seems very clear that she disagrees with what Pranit had said; however, she feels that it isn't appropriate to target him on social media platforms just because of one single mistake.

Speaking on the issue, Tanya said, "I feel bad for Pranit too. He made a mistake; an FIR was lodged against him, and he faced a lot of trolling. But we must not forget that everyone has a family. What he did was wrong-which is why all this happened-but humans do make mistakes. He has admitted his error and apologized."

She added, "At some point, we need to reflect on whether social media is becoming excessively toxic. We must remember that any one of us could be in his shoes tomorrow. If I were to make a mistake, social media wouldn't spare me either. Therefore, we should put ourselves in the other person's position and understand when to stop."

Tanya emphasized that since anyone can make a mistake, one should empathize with the person before spreading hate against them. She remarked, "One needs to stop at a certain point." "If you want to criticize or raise questions, go ahead-but let it end there. Don't escalate the matter to the point where his family can no longer live with dignity in society. He is human, after all, and humans make mistakes."

The controversy surrounding Pranit More stemmed from a viral video in which an audience member made an objectionable remark about women during the show. The individual implied that after spending 370, he was entitled to physical intimacy.

Pranit More was seen laughing at the comment, a reaction that drew significant criticism. People felt he should have objected to the statement at the time.
