'BB 19': Farrhana's family sends legal notice to Amaal's aunt
What's the story
Farrhana Bhatt's family has issued a legal notice to Roshan Garry Bhinder, the aunt of music composer Amaal Mallik, after she allegedly referred to Bhatt as a "terrorist" during a recent interview. The notice demands that Bhinder immediately take down the defamatory video, issue a public apology, and pay ₹1 crore in damages for the reputational and emotional harm caused.
Statement
Bhatt's family has chosen to respond with 'dignity'
In a statement shared on Bhatt's X (formerly Twitter), the family expressed their "deep distress" over "defamatory and communally charged remarks" made against her. The statement read, "The family has chosen to respond with dignity and legal recourse, rather than stoop to the level of mudslinging and online provocation being carried out by the other side."

Controversial remarks
Family has also sent copies of notice to these bodies
The controversy erupted when Bhinder, in an interview with Fifafooz, made derogatory remarks about Bhatt. She said, "Evil. Terrorist... But vo jo hote hain na, rakshash log jo logon ka khoon peene ke baad haste hain, she's like that." The family has also sent copies of the notice to the National Commission for Women and the Maharashtra State Commission for Women for appropriate action.
Defense
Meanwhile, Bhinder defended Mallik amid bias allegations from Salman Khan
In another interview, Bhinder defended Mallik amid allegations of bias from Salman Khan. She said, "Just because Salman sir knows him beforehand, that doesn't mean he's biased toward him." "Because the whole idea of Bigg Boss is pretty simple - entertain, and he is entertaining." Meanwhile, fans can catch new episodes of the show on JioHotstar and Colors TV.
