TV actor Gaurav Khanna, who was declared the Bigg Boss 19 winner on December 7, has strongly reacted to ongoing allegations that say that his victory was due to his fame and not merit. After a period of speculations and arguments, the actor who plays a lead in Anupamaa said that the Anupamaa cast had once again talked about the issue and reiterated that his success was not due to any favoritism connected with his past TV roles but was rather the result of audience patronage and hard work over the years.
Addressing Fame and the ‘Colors Face’ Tag
After Khanna won Bigg Boss 19, people started speculating on social media about the slyness of Anupamaa . Khanna’s fame played a role in his winning, especially the “Colors TV face” claims, which almost everyone believed. In a recent interview, Gaurav retaliated to these claims, stating to the critics that he had not been closely associated with Colors TV for more than 10 years, with the last show he did on the channel airing in 2010. He pointed out that 20 years in the television industry required Slottingyears,plotting and slotting years, plotting,hard work and insisted that no one wins a show like Bigg Boss just because they have a good image from the past.
Strategy Inside the House
Khanna talked about his mentality in the Bigg Boss house, saying he was there to learn and not to fight and argue. While some of the contestants thought getting into fights and creating controversies would attract votes, Gaurav decided to play the game by being respectful, being smart, and knowing himself. He recognized that his way of playing, which was based on genuineness and not dramatics, might not have been liked by all the players; however, it definitely won over the audience, leading him to get the maximum votes and eventually win the trophy by defeating Farrhana Bhatt. He also took home the ₹50 lakh cash prize.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Critics
The public’s response was divided across social media platforms. Fans, on the one hand, greeted Gaurav’s triumph with full-heartedness, praising his civilized playing style and expressing their pride that he gained victory without negativity or quarrel. A couple of the audience even shared touchy stories and letters to Gaurav, complimenting his travels and his being an honest person. But then again, quite a few detractors and co-players expressed their discontent, and they called the win “undeserved” or “rigged”; they even insinuated that the show had been partial to him. In spite of the criticism, Khanna’s fans maintain that these sorts of negative reactions are indeed a pattern that repeats itself whenever a winner’s style is not the usual drama-driven one.
Celebration and Legacy
Gaurav’s triumph was not only a Bigg Boss 19 trophy and a cash prize of ₹50 lakh; it also opened up new avenues for his marketing across other media apart from the television. The finale of the event was said to have the highest TRP ratings, even exceeding his prior successful show, Anupamaa, which further endorsed his status as a credible artist in the entertainment world. Later on, he started his YouTube channel, though there were some technical difficulties that caused it to go offline for a short time before being back up again as a place to tell personal stories and have interactions with fans. The actor has been constantly thankful for every chance he got, attributing his victory to the love of the audience and hard work throughout his career and not to any other means or fame advantage.
