Farrhana Bhatt has put an end to speculation surrounding her reported entry into Roadies Rebirth. The Bigg Boss 19 runner-up has confirmed that she will not be joining the upcoming season as a gang leader, choosing instead to take a break from physically demanding and adventure-based reality shows.
Farrhana addressed the rumours herself on X after fans repeatedly asked her about reports suggesting that she would be part of the new season. Clarifying the situation, she wrote, "A little clarification for everyone who's been asking me about Roadies. No, I won't be a Gang Leader on this season of Roadies."
The reality star also explained her decision to step away from the genre for the time being. Farrhana is currently participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, where contestants are required to perform physically and mentally challenging stunts. She said the experience had taken a toll on her energy and emotions, prompting her to pause before taking up another adventure-based show.
"I've decided to take a small break from physically intense and adventure-based shows after giving everything I had to Khatron Ke Khiladi. Khatron has taken a lot of my energy, strength and emotions, and right now, I feel like I need some time to breathe, recharge and explore other things," she said.
Her announcement received considerable support from fans, who praised her for prioritising herself after an intense stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. Several followers expressed disappointment at not seeing her as a gang leader but said they would continue to support her choices and future projects.
Meanwhile, Roadies Rebirth continues to generate curiosity, with reports doing the rounds about its new gang leaders. Television actor Karan Kundrra has reportedly been linked to a possible comeback to the adventure reality show, potentially replacing Prince Narula. However, the makers are yet to officially announce or confirm the complete line-up for the upcoming season.
Farrhana, meanwhile, continues to be seen on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. The season features several television and entertainment personalities, including Rubina Dilaik, Jasmin Bhasin, Karan Wahi, Rithvik Dhanjani, Vishal Aditya Singh, Shagun Sharma, Orry, Avika Gor, Avinash Mishra, Harsh Gujral and Ruhaanika Dhawan, among others.
While her reported Roadies stint will not materialise this season, Farrhana's decision suggests that she intends to explore opportunities beyond adventure-based reality television after giving her all to Khatron Ke Khiladi 15.
