Television actor Shoaib Ibrahim recently took to his social media account to reveal his support for contestant Farrhana Bhatt in Bigg Boss Season 19 this year.
As soon as he answered the question in his Q&A session, trolls were quick enough to accuse him of supporting Farrhana on the basis of the same religion. The troll post read, “You are a Muslim, and that is why you are supporting Farrhana, as she is a Muslim too."
Shoaib stayed calm as he said, “So, now things have come back to religion. No, it's nothing like that. I like Farhana's game; I like the way she's playing. She is standing all alone against everybody, and she is a strong lady; that's why I like her game.”
Those crying “religion card” need a reality check Shoaib supported Karan Veer Mehra last year too.

He stands for character, not community.
Your hate says more about you than him 🔥#FarrhanaBhatt #FarrhanaRebellions #BiggBoss19 #BB19 #ShoaibIbrahim pic.twitter.com/N0uzT9IOfi
He reminded me, “Last year, I was supporting Karanveer Mehra, whereas Vivian Dsena was there, since you are accusing me of favouring one religion, so no, it's nothing like that. I really had liked Karanveer Mehra's game and was very happy that he won.”
Talking about Farrhana Bhatt, Shoaib stated her positive points and called her strong.
“I like Farhana's game. Yes, no doubt, sometimes she goes overboard, but still, if you look at it from the perspective of the game, she is running the whole house,” said Shoaib.
Dipika Kakar, Bigg Boss 12 winner, and his wife, who was listening to Shoaib, added, “But the best thing about the weekend was that when Salman Khan sir corrected her, she admitted and accepted all her mistakes very respectfully. I agree that she had a thousand questions in her mind against the show at that very moment, but also that she said it in a very polite way. So that was nice overall to see."
Shoaib, highlighting how Farrhana and Tanya Mittal are running the show, said, “If you look at the last weekend, and if you remove the topic of Farhana and Tanya, then no one had any topic to discuss. Well, I also liked Baseer Ali and Abhishek Bajaj too, but now they both have been eliminated.”
Talking about Farrhana Bhatt, the actress recently was at the receiving end of host Salman Khan's wrath, especially for demeaning the television industry and co-contestant Gaurav Khanna, whom Salman called TV's superstar.
