In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19, contestants Farrhana Bhatt and Kunickaa Sadanand engaged in a heartfelt conversation, sharing personal struggles and traumas that have shaped their lives. The exchange, which occurred on the Colors TV and JioCinema reality show, offered viewers a glimpse into the vulnerabilities of two individuals often perceived as strong personalities.
Farrhana Bhatt opened up about her childhood, revealing that her parents separated when she was very young. She shared that she has never met her father in person, stating, "I have only seen him in pictures". Farrhana also mentioned that her mother was only 25 years old when she and her father parted ways. Admitting that the separation was frightening, Farrhana said it left a lasting impact on her life. She confessed that after seeing her parents' troubled relationship, she is now scared of marriage, calling it a 'scary thing'.
Kunickaa Sadanand responded with empathy, sharing her own difficult experiences. She revealed that she filed for divorce at the age of 20 and subsequently endured a nine-year-long custody battle for her son. Balancing her professional commitments in Mumbai with frequent trips to Delhi for court hearings, Kunickaa described this period as one of the most challenging phases of her life. Kunickaa recalled that the turning point came when her son requested that either she or her ex-husband withdraw the case, as the prolonged conflict was negatively impacting his studies and mental well-being.
Kunickaa's son, Ayaan Lall, had spoken about the custody battle his mother faced regarding his brother. He shared that she married at 17 and faced a major heartbreak when her son was kidnapped from a train station. Kunickaa then fought a tough custody battle, entering the film industry to earn money for her legal fight. Ayaan noted that his mother had to wait 12 years before being reunited with her son.
The candid exchange between Farrhana and Kunickaa surprised many viewers, especially considering their prior interactions in the Bigg Boss house. Known for their fiery personalities and frequent clashes, the two have often engaged in heated arguments and personal remarks, leading some to view them as rivals. Just weeks prior, Farrhana had made a personal remark about Kunickaa, saying that she was a flop actress and that her children would be ashamed of her behavior on national television.
Kunickaa has also admitted that she was wrong about some of her past comments on Ashnoor. She confessed that her opinions about Ashnoor were a misunderstanding and expressed her newfound admiration for her.
Beyond this emotional moment, Farrhana recently achieved captaincy in the Bigg Boss house, defeating Gaurav Khanna. However, the loss was not well-received by Gaurav, who expressed his frustration with the opposition team and demanded fair play.
Kunickaa Sadanand has been a part of the film and television industry for over three decades. She has worked with Bigg Boss 19 host Salman Khan in films like Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya and Hum Saath Saath Hain. Kunickaa is also an advocate, politician, and social activist.
Farrhana Bhatt, known for her role in Laila Majnu, was the first contestant evicted from Bigg Boss 19 but was sent to a secret room before returning to the house. Before acting, Farhana studied Mass Communication and Journalism and trained at Anupam Kher's Actor Prepares in Mumbai. She is also a five-time national medalist in taekwondo and a self-taught dancer.
