Shoaib Ibrahim BASHED for supporting Farrhana Bhatt in BB19: ‘Supporting her because..’

Actor Shoaib Ibrahim recently found himself at the center of an online controversy after expressing support for Bigg Boss 19 contestant Farrhana Bhatt. The actor, who is known for being candid with his fans, took part in an Instagram “Ask Me Anything” session where a casual question about his favourite contestant led to a heated debate online.

Shoaib’s Support for Farrhana Sparks Reactions

During the live interaction, Shoaib was asked by a fan to name his current favourite contestant from Bigg Boss 19. Without hesitation, he mentioned Farrhana Bhatt, explaining that she had been playing the game strongly in recent weeks. He added that while she sometimes crosses boundaries, her energy and strategy make her one of the most active participants in the house.

Shoaib said, 'From the game standpoint, she is running the house. Yes, she can go overboard at times, but who in this house hasn’t?'

His statement quickly gained attention on social media, with many users sharing clips and screenshots of his response. However, what started as a harmless opinion soon turned into a wave of online criticism. Some netizens questioned his neutrality, while a few went further to accuse him of supporting Farrhana due to shared religious identity.

Shoaib’s Firm Response to Trolls

Unfazed by the backlash, Shoaib directly addressed the trolling during the same session. When one user commented, 'You support Farrhana only because you’re Muslim,' Shoaib replied firmly, dismissing the baseless claim.

He responded, 'I knew someone would ask this. I have always liked Farrhana, yes. She does overdo things at times, but who in this house hasn’t? People make mistakes — that’s part of the game. Just because someone asks a question, I’m not going to justify it to everyone.'

His calm but clear response earned attention from fans who appreciated his straightforwardness. Shoaib clarified that his opinion was based purely on gameplay and not personal or religious bias.

Bigg Boss Discussions Spill Beyond the House

As Bigg Boss 19 continues to dominate headlines with shifting alliances and intense rivalries, Shoaib’s remarks reflect how deeply the show engages audiences outside the house. Viewers and celebrities alike often find themselves drawn into discussions, proving that the show’s impact extends far beyond the contestants’ performances.

With new twists and eliminations ahead, all eyes remain on Farrhana’s journey inside the house — and on how supporters like Shoaib continue to interpret and defend their perspectives amid growing online scrutiny.
