Ashnoor Kaur left Bigg Boss 19 a week before its December 2025 finale, ousted on grounds of physical violence. The exit followed a task in which she hit Tanya Mittal with a wooden plank. She has said she never meant to hurt anyone, and the exit did little to slow a career that began on television when she was a small child.
Ashnoor Kaur was born on 3 May 2004 in New Delhi, according to India Forums, which makes her 22 as of November 2026. She told The Times of India in October 2026 that she is single, and no outlet has reported a husband or a partner.

Ashnoor Kaur’s career from child actor to lead
Ashnoor Kaur has worked in television for most of her life. India Forums lists her debut as Jhansi Ki Rani in 2009. Hindustan Times named that show alongside Patiala Babes when it profiled her in August 2021.
Her best-known work came through daily soaps. The Times of India listed Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Patiala Babes and Suman Indori among her television credits in January 2026, along with the web projects Kisko Tha Pata and the youth series School Friends. On the film side, the same report names the Ranbir Kapoor biopic Sanju.
She kept studying through the busiest years of her career. Hindustan Times reported on 1 August 2021 that she had scored 94 percent in her class 12 board exams. Her class 10 score was 93 percent, earned while she was shooting a daily soap. At 17 she had also bought a new home in Mumbai with her family, she told the paper, and planned a Bachelor of Mass Media degree in the city. In the same interview she described acting as an unstable line of work and said she wanted a backup, possibly a master’s degree in filmmaking. She also said she was taking a break from daily soaps to prepare for adult roles.
Why Ashnoor Kaur left Bigg Boss 19 before the finale
Ashnoor Kaur was ousted from Bigg Boss 19 a week before the finale on grounds of physical violence, after she hit Tanya Mittal during the Ticket to Finale task. India Today reported the grounds for the exit in an interview three days after she left the house.
The task itself was an obstacle course. As The Indian Express described it on 27 November 2025, the four contenders carried bowls of water on their shoulders, attached to a wooden plank, while other housemates tried to empty them. Tanya emptied Ashnoor’s bowls, and Ashnoor then hit Tanya with the plank. Gaurav Khanna won the ticket to the finale and the season’s last captaincy.
The argument after the task made things worse. Tanya Mittal told her she was not even sorry for hitting her, and other contestants also criticized Ashnoor, The Indian Express reported. The paper added that the two had clashed since the start of the season, when Tanya asked for respect as someone 10 years older, and that Tanya had later body-shamed Ashnoor.
Ashnoor gave her side to India Today. She said the plank was heavy and her shoulders were sore, so she took it off and threw it behind her as the task ended. She also said she did not know Tanya was hurt. “If she was hurt by me, even unintentionally, I would have gone and apologised to her,” she said, while rejecting the idea that she targeted Tanya on purpose.
She also said the exit felt like losing the trophy at the last step. “It was just a week away, and I felt like my dream was snatched from me,” she told the outlet, adding that parts of the conflict never made it to air. Viewers split along the same lines, and under a r/biggboss thread calling her unapologetic, one reply pushed back:
“Was Tanya apologetic kbhi bhi jb she did wrong?? Duhh why are hailing Tanya like she’s a saint, it was clearly her game to instigate someonee”

Are Ashnoor Kaur and Abhishek Bajaj dating?
No. Ashnoor Kaur and Abhishek Bajaj have both called their Bigg Boss 19 bond a friendship, and in December 2025 she told India Today, “We are best friends, and that’s how the equation will always be.” No outlet has reported a romance between the two.
The link-up talk ran through the whole season. Housemates teased the pair about being more than friends, and both denied it, Moneycontrol reported on 8 October 2025. In the same report her parents, speaking to Pinkvilla, called the bond sincere and based on friendship.
Ashnoor told India Today that she realized the friendship was strong during a captaincy task, when Abhishek Bajaj defended her tile although he did not have to. She laughed off the constant linking and said both of them knew others were trying to build a narrative around them.

Since the show, Ashnoor Kaur has spoken more about body image and set up a page for it. The Times of India reported on 10 January 2026 that she started Gentle On Me, a space with breathing exercises, grounding tips and positive messages. She launched it after discussing her struggles with body image since childhood during the season.
Her home drew attention too. On a visit filmed with Farah Khan, reported by The Indian Express on 30 January 2026, she showed a Mumbai apartment with a running balcony, a smart curtain setup and a showcase of awards from school and from her acting career. She said the family had moved in about two years earlier.
In October 2026 she said her focus was on acting and an upcoming business: “I’m currently happy with my acting career and gearing up to launch my brand,” she told The Times of India, adding that she avoids replying to trolls.
