The killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in an attack by the United States and Israel has sent shockwaves across the globe. He was 86. Iranian state media confirmed Khamenei's death in the early hours on March 1 after US President Donald Trump said that he was killed in a joint US-Israeli air strike that hit his compound on February 28. While some people around the world were cheering, those in Iran took to the streets to grieve and mourn the death of their supreme leader. Bigg Boss 19 runner-up Farhana Bhatt too publicly reacted to Ali Khamenei’s death.

While reacting to Ali Khamenei's death, Farrhana said, "He was a personality we can't forget ever. He will stay alive in our hearts. All Kashmiris are shaken to the core after the incident. And you won't believe seheri ke baad main bilkul soyi nahi. I was so sad. This should never have happened."

She continued, "Kaafi logon ke liye woh ek messiah the. He will definitely stay alive in our hearts and minds."

The death of Khamenei

A couple of weeks back, something unexpected happened on Iranian state TV. For the unversed, a reporter blurted out “death to Khamenei” while he was live on air. The journalist was busy reporting on state-organized rallies marking the anniversary of the 1979 revolution that ushered in Iran’s theocratic regime and he wanted to mention “death to America".

Reporter's slip-up didn’t just took away his job, but it also threw spotlight on just how much former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in US and Israeli airstrikes over the weekend, had become a deeply disliked figure after nearly four decades in power over a country of more than 90 million people.
