Bigg Boss 19 has come to an end, with the grand finale airing on December 7, 2025. Salman Khan declared Gaurav Khanna as the winner of the show while Farrhana Bhatt became the first runner-up. Both of them had competed against 18 contestants, and now Farrhana spoke to the press about not winning the season. For the unversed, Bigg Boss 19 saw tense moments between contestants, with public voting deciding the champion, and Farrhana's fans thought she would win the season.

Farrhana Bhatt reacts to Gaurav Khanna winning Bigg Boss 19 and her being the runner-up

Farrhana Bhatt was known for her bold and furious nature in the Bigg Boss 19 house. The actress became the season's first runner-up, and a while back, she interacted with the paps in a post-exit interview. Farrhana slayed in a red shimmery gown, and the paps asked her about Gaurav Khanna winning Bigg Boss 19 while she became the runner-up. The actress in her poetic andaaz said that winning was never her goal and said:

"Meri trophy pe kabhi nazar thi hi nai. Unhone trophy jeeti maine dil jeete. Humko bika sake woh zamane mei dum nahi. Humse zamana khud hai hamese zamana nai."

Netizens support Farrhana Bhatt and declare her the winner

Netizens on social media have been commenting on Farrhana Bhatt being the real winner. Supporting the actress, a user wrote on social media, “She's so strong. Here I can't stop crying and look at her, posing for paps as if nothing happened”. Another fan of Farrhana said, "The fact that Salman & Gaurav were so salty at this moment and chose to taunt her instead of embracing her shows who the real winner is.” 

Another fan of Farrhana even penned, "GK won, ok. But it’s really sad that, even during the winner announcement, Salman didn’t mention #FarrhanaBhatt’s name once. Even after the announcement, he kept taunting her and making fun of her. It was honestly painful to watch. Such a biased show." Farrhana has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has previously worked in extreme conditions — even at minus degrees — and never let her work suffer.

Farrhana Bhatt revealed being in depression

Farrhana in the Bigg Boss 19 house was always open about her personal life. She had previously told Abhishek Bajaj that she had not been in contact with her dad, whom she considers irresponsible. Farrhana shared that her parents have a strained relationship, and her dad has daughters from other relationships. Farrhana earlier had also told Shehbaz Badesha about getting depression post her heartbreak and said:

I’m real. In 2018, I went into severe depression for three months after a breakup. Since then, I sometimes get lost in the middle of interviews — I’ve zoned out and felt completely lost.”

Farrhana Bhatt revealed her relatives stopped her from following her dreams to do movies

Farrhana has worked with directors such as Rohit Shetty and Imtiaz Ali and worked in Salman Khan's movie, Notebook. She had her own set of challenges while growing up, and in an interview with India Forums, shared:

“Trust me, agar woh mere saath hote na, ye sab film industry wagera toh bhul jao. None of this would’ve happened. Mere mom ke side ke relatives ne itne threats diye kis baat ke liye — ke main terrace par videos banati thi."
