Lawsuit for defamation
In November 2025, a legal controversy erupted outside the house concerning statements made about Bhatt. Bhatt's family issued a formal legal notice to Roshan Garry Bhinder, the aunt of co-contestant Amaal Mallik, as well as the YouTube channel Fifafooz and YouTube India.[4] The legal action was initiated following a YouTube interview where Bhinder allegedly referred to Bhatt using the term "terrorist." Bhatt's family characterized the comments as "defamatory and communally charged," expressing deep distress over the "outrageous and baseless allegation." The legal notice demanded the immediate removal of the controversial video, a public apology from the involved parties, and ₹1 crore in damages for the alleged reputational and emotional harm caused to Bhatt.[5]
Activism
In her capacity as a CYC executive, she organized and led a seminar and cultural programme in New Delhi, India, on the occasion of the 31st World Disability Day, focusing on "Amplifying the Leadership of Youth with Disabilities."[6]
