New Delhi: Even before the beginning of the seventh season of Bigg Boss, there were rumours of Tanuja`s displeasure over her daughter Tanishaa Mukherji`s decision to join the show. These rumours gradually grew stronger, and it was evident throughout the show, as Tanishaa barely received any gifts or letters from her family unlike to other inmates. According to a tabloid, the veteran actress was quite uncomfortable to participate in the finale, so much so that she preferred being seated in her car for most of the time. She only took part in the shooting for the last 10 to 15 minutes. “Throughout the season, Tanishaa barely got any gifts or visitors from family members. In fact, once the production house approached them to send her something on Diwali, they did not get any response from Tanisha’s family,” a source from the Lonavla studio said. “Tanujaji arrived in the evening but chose to stay away from most of the media. She spent most of her time in her car and only stepped on the set for the last 10-15 minutes of shoot,” a witness told the daily. On the other hand, when the former inmate was asked about her family being unhappy with her deision to take part in a reality show, she asserted: “My family was not against me. They cannot come to certain places and they come as and when required.”
