In a heartfelt exchange on Bigg Boss season 19, entrepreneur and contestant Tanya Mittal sat down with Zeishan Quadri to know more about his life. She asked him about his parents and the kind of expectations they had for him while growing up. Zeishan, while talking to Tanya, revealed that both his mother and father wanted him to secure a stable government job, but his interests were far from the conventional path. “I was always more into “maara-peeti”, action, and physical activities.”

Opening up further, he spoke about the loss of his father. Zeishan said that he passed away just last year. He added that it has only been in the last few years that he decided to take his work and life more seriously. Tanya then reflected on her own journey, mentioning that she, too, has faced many struggles to reach where she is today.
