As the Bigg Boss 19 finale grips the nation tonight, social media has exploded with a quirky yet persistent superstition — the so-called “Red Dress Curse”. Fans are pointing out that contestants who wore bold red outfits on finale night in past seasons often ended up losing the trophy. And with finalist Farrhana Bhatt choosing a striking red embellished gown for the finale, conversations have intensified online, sparking both excitement and anxiety among her supporters.
The ‘Red Dress Bad Luck’ Theory Returns
While it may sound amusing, the theory has circulated for years among Bigg Boss loyalists. Fans have dug up multiple instances from previous seasons to justify the superstition:
Hina Khan vs Shilpa Shinde (Season 11)
Hina Khan famously wore a red gown during the finale. Despite being one of the strongest contestants that year, she ended up finishing as runner-up to Shilpa Shinde.
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary vs MC Stan (Season 16)
Priyanka wore a dramatic red outfit during the Season 16 finale. She was widely expected to win but came in third, leaving fans convinced the outfit jinxed her chances.
Abhishek Malhan vs Munawar Faruqui (Season 17)
Abhishek, the season’s most popular contestant, also wore red on finale night — and lost to Munawar Faruqui.
With three high-profile examples circulating across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram fan pages, and Reddit threads, the superstition has now become part of Bigg Boss folklore.
Farrhana’s Stunning Red Finale Look Is Fueling the Panic
Farrhana Bhatt arrived at the Bigg Boss 19 finale in a dazzling red gown featuring a deep neckline, intricate beadwork, and dramatic shoulder drapes — a bold, confident look that grabbed immediate attention. The fitted silhouette, shimmering detailing and flowing cape added a glamorous, almost cinematic quality to her performance segment.
Her fans loved the look… but the colour choice has sent many into a mild frenzy.
Comments pouring in online include:
-
“Not the red dress again, please! We can’t lose her tonight.”
-
“She looks stunning but I’m scared… last three contestants in red lost.”
-
“Red is jinxed on finale night. Hope Farhana breaks the curse!”
Even casual viewers have begun chiming in, calling the coincidence “too eerie to ignore.”
Superstition or Just Social Media Fun?
There is, of course, no real link between outfit colours and who wins Bigg Boss. Winners are determined through voting trends, fan support, and audience engagement. But reality-show fandom often loves patterns, theories, and emotional drama.
This “red outfit fear” has simply become part of the finale excitement — a way for fans to express nervousness and protectiveness over their favourite contestant.
Interestingly, some fashion pages are applauding Farhana for embracing the colour confidently, saying red symbolises power, passion and victory, interpreting the look as a bold statement rather than a risky choice.
Will Farhana Break the ‘Red Finale Curse’?
With just hours left for the winner announcement, fans are watching closely to see whether this superstition will finally be broken or whether the “pattern” will make its way into yet another finale.
Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain — Farhana’s red finale look has already become one of the most discussed fashion moments of Bigg Boss 19.
