Jamie Lever Takes Social Media Break After Backlash Over Tanya Mittal Mimicry
Popular comedian and mimicry artist Jamie Lever has decided to step away from social media for a while after facing criticism over a recent Instagram reel. Known for her celebrity impressions and humorous takes, Jamie shared an emotional note with her followers, revealing that she needs time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with herself.
Taking to Instagram, Jamie opened up “Those who truly know me know how deeply I love my work and how honestly I do it. I’m grateful to God for the gift of bringing joy to others and forever thankful for the love I’ve received over the years. I’ve learned on this journey that not everyone will cheer for you or laugh with you. Recent events have made me feel like I’ve lost a small part of myself - this comes from reflection, not anger."
Reassuring her fans, Jamie made it clear that her passion for entertainment remains unchanged.“I love what I do and will always entertain. For now, I’m taking some time to rest and reset. See you next year. Thank you for the love, prayers, and support - always.”
The backlash stemmed from a reel in which Jamie mimicked Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal . In the video, Jamie recreated Tanya’s expressions and moments where she was seen crying on the show, while also referring to her as the number one entertainer of the season. While some viewers found the video humorous, others accused Jamie of crossing a line, claiming the mimicry mocked Tanya’s appearance and emotions.
Tanya Mittal, who emerged as one of the finalists of Bigg Boss 19, was frequently in the spotlight during the show for discussing her lavish lifestyle, making her a widely talked-about contestant this season.
Jamie Lever, meanwhile, continues to be a familiar face in both digital and mainstream entertainment. She has featured in several Bollywood films, including Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, Housefull 4, Bhoot Police, Yaatris, and Crakk. She is also the daughter of veteran comedian Johnny Lever, one of India’s most iconic comic performers, celebrated for his expressive humour and impeccable timing.
As Jamie takes a step back to focus on herself, fans have flooded her post with messages of support, hoping to see her return refreshed and stronger.
