Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna shrugs off undeserving tag by Farhana Bhatt

After lifting the Bigg Boss 19 trophy, Gaurav Khanna has finally reacted to the remarks by Farrhana Bhatt surrounding his win, particularly the “undeserving” remark made by fellow contestant Farrhana Bhatt. In a candid interaction with the media, the actor made it clear that such comments do not affect him in the slightest, choosing instead to focus on the journey that brought him the title.

During an interview with Telly Talk India, Gaurav spoke about Farrhana Bhatt giving him the tag of an underserving winner. Gaurav said, “Maine Farrhana ko show ke andar jawab nahi diya. Main aisa banda hi nahi hu ki main alfaazon main jawaab du. Mere actions… they speak more than my words aur main apna kaam karta raha aur mera kaam un 15 logon ko khush karna nahi tha, unke register main tick mark marna nahi tha ki mene kya kaam kiya… Jo janta bahar dekh rahi hai, 150 crore, unke dilon mein jagah banani thi. Aur ye show hi wo hai… chahe kuch karu na karu, jitne wale, haraane wale sab janta hai. Toh agar janta ne jitaya hai, unhone votes diye hai, main personally toh janta nahi hu kisiko."

According to him, Bigg Boss is ultimately decided by audience votes, and his win reflects the support and trust viewers placed in him throughout the season. Gaurav also spoke about how criticism is an inevitable part of reality television, especially after a high-stakes finale. He noted that contestants experience intense emotions during and after the show, which often leads to strong reactions and statements. Rather than engaging in post-show arguments, he prefers to channel his energy into gratitude for the love he has received from fans.

From navigating conflicts to building relationships inside the house, Gaurav said he played the game with honesty and dignity. He believes that authenticity resonated with the audience, ultimately working in his favour.
