Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna continues to stay in the spotlight, this time for an unexpected digital setback. Fresh off his reality show victory, the actor launched his official YouTube channel on December 16, 2025, hoping to connect directly with fans after months inside the Bigg Boss house. What followed, however, left many stunned. Within a day of going live, both his debut video and the entire channel were terminated by YouTube.
The sudden disappearance quickly caught the attention of fans who went searching for the channel and found nothing. A Reddit user shared a screenshot on a discussion thread titled, “What happened to Gaurav Khanna Official YouTube channel. Can’t find it anymore (sic).” Several users reported encountering a message that read, “This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated (sic).” The lack of any official clarification only added to the confusion.
As news of the takedown spread, social media users began speculating about possible reasons behind the termination. One Reddit user wrote, “It happens when there is instant increase in the number of subscribers. It’s quite common, happens to most of the celebrities. His team can get it back (sic).” Another suggested a more serious cause, claiming, “It happened due to artificial traffic and bots… Likely because I have seen new accounts with more subs in a day than him, so yes it’s artificial and curated… YouTube terminated his account (sic).” These claims, however, remain unverified, with no confirmation from YouTube or Gaurav’s team so far.
Before the channel went offline, Gaurav’s first video featured him speaking candidly about his Bigg Boss 19 journey and the emotional highs and lows of living inside the controversial house. He also reflected on his television career, briefly touching upon popular shows like Anupamaa and Celebrity MasterChef, and how reality television changed his perspective as an actor and as a person.
In the video, Gaurav credited fellow contestants Pranit More and Mridul Tiwari for encouraging him to step into the world of social media. Acknowledging his inexperience, he said, “My two younger brothers, Pranit and Mridul, sat me down and said that I should come on social media, it is very important. I have no idea about this world. This is for both of you. I made a promise. You both are my seniors in this area, I apologise if I make any mistakes. I don’t even know how to go live. This is me trying something new.”
For now, fans are waiting to see whether Gaurav Khanna’s YouTube channel will be restored and if the actor will address the issue directly. Given his massive post-Bigg Boss popularity, many believe this may only be a temporary roadblock in his expanding digital presence.
