'Bigg Boss 19' Farrhana Bhatt Breaks Silence On Dating Salman's Show's Ex-Director, 'I Met Him...'

Bigg Boss 19 is officially over, and the show got its winner, Gaurav Khanna. He was a fan favourite to win the show this season, and the audience votes have helped the Anupamaa actor get his hands on the diamond-encrusted trophy. The show premiered on August 24, 2025, became a part of the viewers' lives for 3.4 months, and concluded on December 7, 2025. Besides the winner, Gaurav, the runner-up, Farrhana Bhatt, also received as much love and support from her fans. Host, Salman Khan, mentioned it was a close contest between the top three, keeping the finale from being one-sided. Now that she has exited the house, Farrhana has finally opened up about one of the most talked-about topics, her dating life.

Is Farrhana Bhatt dating Endemol's ex-creative director, Bhaskar Bhatt?

Days ahead of the BB19 grand finale, rumours surfaced that Farrhana Bhatt had internal ties with the production team of Colors TV, the channel airing the reality show. A Reddit user alleged that Farrhana was closely associated with Endemol's ex-creative director, Bhaskar Bhatt. One X-user also claimed that the Kashmiri actress was dating Endemol's director, Sarvesh Singh. Farrhana didn't have any idea about such speculations going on, as she shared during a post-finale interview with India Today. Farrhana promptly refuted dating or being closely involved with Bhaskar Bhatt, calling the social media claims' nonsensical'. Farrhana called Bhaskar a 'very dear friend' and revealed having met him only twice before the finale. She stated:

"No way! He is a very dear friend. And in fact, I have met him only once or twice before the show. He is just a friend, and there's nothing like that. Bhaskar and me, oh my God, this is so nonsensical. I am hearing this for the first time. Bhaskar and I are just friends, and to be honest, this is the third time we are meeting personally."

Farrhana Bhatt seemed flabbergasted upon hearing her name linked to Bhaskar Bhatt. She then shared an anecdote of her first contact with him. The Laila Majnu actress recalled him calling her about the show two years ago, but she was already busy with another project. Farrhana wasn't even close enough to Bhaskar to save his name, typically; she instead used 'Bigg Boss' as his contact name. This year, finally, her schedule allowed her to participate in the reality show, which ultimately brought her closest to winning the trophy. Farrhana's exact words were:

"He had called me two years ago, but I was shooting for something then, and hence nothing worked out. I had his number saved as 'Bigg Boss' as I didn't even know his name. I got the call again this year from the producers, and I gave proper interviews in multiple rounds. I am getting to know about this from you, and it's really hard to believe that people even thought about this. But honestly, there's no truth to this."

How did rumours about Farrhana Bhatt and Bhaskar Bhatt start?

The Reddit poster who claimed that Farrhana was having something going on with Bhaskar shared screenshots showing Endemol Shine promoting Farrhana on its social media accounts. They also shared some video thumbnails of Bhaskar giving interviews regarding Farrhana. Fans claimed that he and Farrhana's PR team were providing her with outside information while she was in the Bigg Boss house. They made allegations of bias and vote manipulation, citing Bhaskar's former employment at Endemol. For the unversed, Endemol Shine India (now part of the global Banijay Group) has a long-standing business relationship with Colors TV as the production house behind two of the channel's most popular reality shows, Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi.
