Farrhana Bhatt, the first runner-up of Bigg Boss 19, has opened up about a heartbreaking decision she made early in her career. In a candid conversation with IANS, the actress revealed that she asked her family to publicly announce that they had disassociated from her.
A Difficult Childhood and Growing Up Years
While speaking inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, Farrhana had previously discussed her difficult childhood and challenging growing up years. Now, she has shared more details about one of the toughest decisions of her life. The actress revealed that distancing herself from her close family members was the biggest risk she took while chasing her dreams.
The Biggest Risk of Her Life
Speaking about dealing with the emotional turmoil, Farrhana said, “The biggest risk in life taken by me, is that I completely cut myself off from my close blood relatives. To a limit where I told them you can publicly announce ‘she doesn’t belong to us’. That was the biggest risk I took.” She further explained how challenging it was to separate herself from her family, especially because of the emotional bonds and expectations connected to blood relations.
“Somewhere in your blood relation, if you are at your lowest, you have certain expectations that maybe someone from your family will someday come up and help you, or say a few words that motivate you. But at that point, when you have actually no one around, it’s just you and your mother, and you are cutting off everyone, publicly telling them, ‘You don’t belong to me. I don’t belong to you,’ that’s when you completely put yourself into solitude,” she shared.
Choosing Solitude Over Giving Up
The Bigg Boss 19 contestant added that despite the loneliness, she chose not to give up on her ambitions. “I decided that I will be alone, but I won’t give up on my dreams or whatever I want to do. That was the biggest risk I ever took,” she said.
Farrhana Bhatt, who rose to fame with her stint in Bigg Boss 19 in 2025, hails from Kashmir. Her outspoken personality and fearless journey on the reality show garnered attention from viewers across the country. After the show, the actress went on to feature in a music video with singer-composer Amaal Mallik. She is now participating in the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi season 15.
