Gaurav Khanna's Accusation of Character Assassination
During his roast session, Gaurav expressed his feelings for Farrhana through sharp and witty words, which sparked online outrage. He said, 'Farrhana looks at things differently. Even here, she wants to offer jobs to contestants. If you’ve watched the show since the first episode, we had a 'free' friend, Abhishek Bajaj. Farrhana gave him a mind-blowing offer: become her boyfriend for a week. That offer got transferred to Baseer Ali.'
Netizens React
Netizens reacted with strong emotions, calling Gaurav's remark 'character assassination'. One wrote, 'I didn't find this funny. He was blatantly disrespectful, in the name of a 'joke,' character assassinating Farrhana. You could tell she wasn’t happy at all with what GK said.' Another commented, 'So-called green flag Gaurav Ganna is openly going in Farrhana's character. We now understand why his wife doesn't want to have a kid with him.'
One said, 'Gaurav literally character assassinating Farrhana by linking him to Bajaj and Baseer. Is this meant to be funny? WTF is wrong with this man? Most disgusting personality on the show!!' Another X user wrote, 'I don't think it's a joke by Gaurav; it's character assassination on national TV!! #FarrhanaBhatt understanding it but she did not react.'
'What a pathetic man he. Making remarks on a woman's character in the name of a joke. Absolutely disgusting. Shame on the makers and Salman for never calling it out,' said another. What do you have to say about Gaurav's remark to Farrhana?
