Early Life and Family
Farhana Bhatt was born and brought up in the city of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir in a Kashmiri Muslim family.

Farhana got her degree in Mass Communication and Journalism from Government College for Women in Srinagar. After that, she moved to Mumbai and enrolled at Actor Prepares, the acting school that Anupam Kher runs. There she studied theatre, camera acting and Navarasa-based performance techniques.

She did make it to the final and came in at number 2, which in turn saw her popularity rise. (Wikipedia).
Her performance on Bigg Boss also saw a large increase in social media followings, and she became one of the more recognisable contestants that season.
