The post-show tension between Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna and fellow contestant Farrhana Bhatt shows no sign of fading. Days after Farrhana claimed that Gaurav ignored her invitation to a celebration party, the actor has finally responded, offering his version of events and clearing the air.
Farrhana had recently hosted a party to mark her Bigg Boss 19 journey, where Gaurav’s absence drew attention. Speaking to the media, she alleged that she had invited the actor but received no response. The claim resurfaced amid her earlier remarks questioning Gaurav’s win on the Salman Khan-hosted reality show.
Gaurav Khanna Responds: ‘There Was No Message’
In an interview with FilmyGyan, Gaurav firmly denied receiving any invitation message.
“There was no message on my original number. I only had one missed call. That day, I was with Akanksha because she had severe food poisoning, so I had to take her to the doctor,” he explained.
He added that had he seen a message, he would have responded without hesitation.
“If there had been a message, I would definitely have replied,” Gaurav clarified.
Despite the controversy, the Anupamaa actor maintained a respectful tone and praised Farrhana’s performance on the show, saying she played well in her own way. He also wished her a belated happy birthday, signalling no personal animosity.
Missed Parties on Both Sides
Interestingly, the distance appears mutual. Farrhana also skipped Gaurav’s birthday and success celebrations, adding to speculation of a lingering rift between the two contestants after the show’s conclusion.
Farah Khan’s Witty Take Goes Viral
The situation gained further attention during Farah Khan’s popular cooking vlog, where Farrhana appeared as a guest. When Farah asked her why she didn’t attend Gaurav’s party, Farrhana cited a face allergy.
Farah’s quick-witted response stole the spotlight:
“Abhi GK se allergy hai isko.”
The remark drew laughs online and was widely shared on social media.
Farah Defends Gaurav’s Authenticity
Farah Khan also came out in support of Gaurav Khanna, addressing claims that he was “faking” his personality on Bigg Boss 19.
“Everyone said he’s faking, but I think he is like that only. Woh fake nahi kar raha tha,” she said.
The filmmaker further recalled her experience working with Gaurav on MasterChef, where he also emerged as the winner, reinforcing her belief in his genuine nature.
Why This Matters
As Bigg Boss contestants transition back into real life, post-show narratives often shape public perception as much as on-screen moments. Gaurav’s calm clarification and Farah Khan’s endorsement appear to have shifted the conversation from controversy to credibility, while fans continue to debate one of BB19’s most talked-about rivalries.
