Meet 'Bigg Boss 19' 1st Evicted Contestant, Farhana Bhatt, 'Laila Majnu' Fame, Has A Kashmiri Family

Bigg Boss 19 is back with a bang, and this season promises even more drama, emotion, and unexpected twists. With a fresh mix of celebrities, influencers, and lesser-known faces, the house is packed with personalities ready to entertain, clash, and connect under the same roof. This season’s lineup has something for every kind of viewer, and as always, the audience is curious about all who have joined Bigg Boss 19. 

Among many other names in the season is Farhana Bhatt, the graceful and grounded actress best known for her role in Laila Majnu. With her Kashmiri roots, powerful screen presence, and calm but confident demeanour, she has caught the eyes of many viewers. But who really is Farhana Bhatt beyond the Bigg Boss cameras? Let’s take a closer look at her journey from Srinagar to stardom.

Farhana Bhatt’s early life was spent in Kashmir

Born on March 15, 1997, in Srinagar, Farhana hails from a conservative Kashmiri Muslim family. She was raised in the picturesque mountains of Kashmir primarily by her mother and grandfather. It is being reported that her father had left when she was just an infant, while no confirmation for the same has been made by the actress or her family.

Regardless of a missing father figure in Farhana's life, she grew up with big dreams in a place where acting wasn’t considered a respectable career path for girls. But with her mother’s unwavering support, Farhana pursued her passion despite resistance from society. She shares a close bond with her sisters, Soliha and Fiza Bhatt.

Farhana Bhatt went from journalism graduate to acting pro

Farhana completed her Bachelor’s in Mass Communication and Journalism from the Government College for Women, Srinagar. However, her real transformation began when she moved to Mumbai to study acting at Anupam Kher’s prestigious Actor Prepares School. There, she honed her acting skills further through theatre workshops focused on the classical ‘Navarasa’, a.k.a the nine emotions, which became a foundation for her powerful screen presence.

Farhana Bhatt’s Bollywood breakthroughs and career highlights

Farhana made her film debut in Sunshine Music Tours & Travels (2016) opposite Sunny Kaushal. But her role as ‘Jasmeet’ in Imtiaz Ali’s cult classic, Laila Majnu (2018), gave her nationwide recognition. Farhana followed this success with further work in projects like Notebook (2019), and soon she began working with major banners like Salman Khan Films, Balaji Telefilms, and Dharma Productions.

Farhana’s filmography has also expanded into OTT, where she has starred in The Freelancer (Disney+ Hotstar), Country of Blind, and Heaven of Hindustan. She became a fan favourite from Amazon miniTV’s India’s Braves (2024), where she played the role of ‘Rihanna’. She’s also a familiar face in popular music videos for T-Series, Speed Records, and Zee Music.

Farhana Bhatt is a multi-talented performer 

Apart from being a splendid actress, Farhana is a national-level athlete as well. As reported by Money Control, Farhana is a five-time national medalist in taekwondo and a self-taught dancer. She has a pet cat and has time and again talked about how much she adores animals. 

Farhana Bhatt in Bigg Boss 19

In the Bigg Boss 19 house, Farhana entered as a familiar name to many film buffs, and she is quickly becoming a fan favourite. However, in a shocking turn of events, she became the first person to be evicted from the house. Her sudden eviction, that too within a few days of the show beginning, left many viewers shocked. But in true Bigg Boss fashion, there is a twist to her eviction.

Farhana may be out of the Bigg Boss house, but she is still very much a part of the game; she was sent to a secret room. From this secret room, Farhana will have the ability to make decisions that directly impact her housemates while she watches the candidates live in the house. This twist has already made Farhana one of the most talked-about contestants of Bigg Boss 19.

What’s Farhana Bhatt’s net worth?

Her growing popularity on Bigg Boss 19 has already opened new doors for Farhana. From film offers to web projects and brand endorsements, Farhana’s career will no doubt be on an upward swing once she leaves the Bigg Boss house, which will surely impact her net worth in a positive manner as well. As far as for now, her net worth isn’t officially known; industry insiders estimate, and the media reports suggest it could be anywhere between 1.5 and 3 crores.

Farhana Bhatt’s love life

When it comes to her love life, Farhana Bhatt has chosen to keep things private and away from the media spotlight. Despite her growing fame and presence on social media, she has never publicly confirmed any of her romantic relationships. Farhana has often emphasised that her focus is purely on her career.

While many fans, as usual, have speculated about possible connections over the years, there’s no official information on any past or current relationships of the actress. For now, the actress appears to be happily single and fully committed to her journey in the entertainment industry.

Farhana Bhatt's journey from the narrow lanes of Srinagar to the nationwide spotlight of Bigg Boss 19 has captured the attention of many, and with the new twist, the Bigg Boss eyes are set on her and her next move.
