Gaurav Khanna opens up about why he skipped Farrhana Bhatt’s success party

Although *Bigg Boss 19* has come to an end, the buzz surrounding the show refuses to die down. Farrhana Bhatt recently threw a success party in the city, which saw several *Bigg Boss 19* contestants coming together to celebrate her journey. However, the noticeable absence of Ashnoor Kaur, Tanya Mittal, Mridul Tiwari, and a few others raised eyebrows and fuelled rumours of possible rifts.

However, what caught everyone’s attention the most was Gaurav Khanna’s absence from Farrhana’s party. Farrhana had revealed that she did invite him, but he never responded, which has only added to the curiosity and chatter around the situation.

In a recent interview, Gaurav addressed the rumours head-on, confirming that he didn’t attend Farrhana’s party and sharing what actually happened behind the scenes.

Gaurav clarified that he never received any message on his main number, explaining that he is currently using a different phone.

He further shared that the phone he was carrying that day only had a missed call. Adding context, Gaurav revealed that he was with his wife, Akanksha, who had fallen ill with food poisoning, and his focus at the time was making sure she was taken to the doctor and cared for.

Gaurav shared that he was completely unaware of the invitation because no message ever reached him. He added that if he had seen Farrhana’s text, he would have definitely replied and cleared things up.

While Gaurav’s journey ended in victory, marked by patience and quiet resilience, Farrhana’s stint on *Bigg Boss* began with an unexpected setback. Much to everyone’s surprise, she was eliminated by her fellow contestants in the very first episode, making her journey far from smooth right from the start.
But this was only the beginning for her. Instead of being sent home, Farrhana was placed in a secret room, giving her a unique chance to quietly watch the game unfold. From there, she closely observed the other contestants—their strategies, alliances, and true intentions—before making her return.
Her return to the house, made possible with Gaurav Khanna’s support, completely shifted the game’s dynamics. No longer the contestant who had been eliminated early on, Farrhana came back stronger, more confident, and determined to change the course of the show—making her re-entry one of the most defining moments of the season.

One of the most talked-about moments between Gaurav and Farrhana came when she questioned his career and his status as “television’s superstar.” The remark struck a nerve, leading Gaurav to hit back sharply, and the exchange quickly turned into an intense and fiery argument between the two.

It seems both Gaurav and Farrhana have buried the hatchet and moved on from the past, choosing to focus on what lies ahead. With the show behind them, they are now looking toward fresh opportunities and new chapters in their careers. For those who may not know, Gaurav lifted the trophy this season, while Farrhana emerged as the first runner-up.
