Tension between Farrhana Bhatt and Amaal Mallik's aunt Roshan

Heated drama on the reality show created a stir both online and offline after Farrhana Bhatt's family sent a legal notice to Amaal Mallik's aunt, Roshan, for calling her a terrorist. The notice was issued not only to Amaal’s aunt, but also to Fifafooz YouTube channel and YouTube India over Amaal Mallik's aunt calling Farrhana a “terrorist” in an interview.

Seeking ₹1crore in damages, the notice posted by her lawyer states, “Our team confirms that a formal legal notice has been issued following defamatory remarks made publicly. #FarrhanaBhatt.” Farrhana’s family on Wednesday confirmed the development about legal notice on social media. The note suggests that Farrhana’s family expressed ‘deep distress’ over the derogatory remarks made by Roshan, HT reported.

Popular insider page BB Tak reported, "Farrhana Bhatt is back to her strategy - skipping duties and creating chaos in the house again." Curiosity is building around how the tasks will be carried out under Amaal's captaincy amid escalating tensions in the house.

What did Amaal Mallik’s aunt Roshan say about Farrhana?

In an interview last month with Fifafooz, Amaal Mallik’s aunt Roshan was asked about Farrhana. She called her “evil" and “terrorist” and said, "I’m sorry, I don’t want to say this. But vo jo hote hai na rakshah log jo logon ka khoon peene ke baad haste hain, she’s like that. (She is like a demon who laughs after sucking people’s blood).”

Pranit More, the 32-year-old Bigg Boss contestant, who had to leave on ‘medical grounds’ after his health deteriorated reportedly surprised fans with his return to the reality television show.
