All three contestants - Hina Khan, Abhishek Kumar and Priyanka Chahar were wearing red coloured outfits on the grand finale of the show. They all ended up losing the trophy and emerging as the first runner-ups (except Priyanka, who finished in third place). From hereon, a red outfit worn by Bigg Boss finalists is considered ‘bad luck’ by fans. Social media users connected the dots and predicted that Farrhana lost the Bigg Boss 19 winner title because she was dressed in a glittery, red, bodycon dress for the finale.

Farrhana Bhatt unhappy with losing Bigg Boss 19 trophy to Gaurav Khanna

Following her exit from the Bigg Boss 19 set, Farrhana addressed the media and shared why she is unhappy with the final result of the show. She explained, “Kyunki Gaurav Khanna ko koi contribution hai nahi show mein. I don’t know audience kis perspective se dekh rahi hai, mere hisaab se to nahi hai. Unhone hamesha bohot hi safe khela hai. Unhone kabhi clear stand nahi liya hai, behaviour se logon ko demean kiya hai. (Because Gaurav Khanna has not contribute to the show. I don’t know from what perspective the audience is watching, but according to me, he hasn’t. He has always played very safely. He never took a clear stand and has demeaned people with his behaviour)."
