Controversies
Bhatt was condemned for her remarks targeting the career of co-contestant Gaurav Khanna and her dismissive comments about the Indian television industry. [10] [11] Bhatt had repeatedly insulted Khanna's work, calling him a B grade person and asserting that she did not want to "waste" her theatre knowledge on television, which she claimed was a "small medium." [12] [13] She was also criticized for other actions, including mocking fellow housemates after one contestant returned from a medical absence, which drew further condemnation from the host and other contestants.

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. [15] 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.

Youth leadership and activism
In addition to her career in entertainment, Bhatt is an active advocate and leader in international youth development. She serves as the Representative for Special Interest Groups on the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC), the official representative body for over 1.5 billion young people across the Commonwealth's 56 member nations.
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." She is also often described as a peace activist, working on social awareness and challenging stereotypes about women from Jammu & Kashmir. [18]
