teAlthough Gaurav Khanna won the Bigg Boss 19 trophy, it appears that his true journey has started after filming wrapped up. Rather than distancing himself from the public, Gaurav has opted to engage with his audience on a more personal level.
Only days following his victory, he created a YouTube channel, offering fans direct insight into his thoughts, reflections, and future plans.
Gaurav's initial video features a serene dialogue, as the actor reflects on his life, his professional journey, and the challenging months he endured in the Bigg Boss house. He starts by discussing his academic background and career path, mentioning his roles in Anupamaa and Celebrity MasterChef, before revealing his reasons for choosing to enter the digital arena.
"Numerous fans encouraged me to engage on social media, and I've ultimately chosen to share a glimpse of my life. I can’t believe this is my first video on YouTube,” she shared.
Looking back at his Bigg Boss 19 journey, Gaurav shared the principles he brought with him into the house. "To me, a winner is someone who learns from their errors, someone who refrains from actions that my family would disapprove of. It has always been stated that Bigg Boss is a conflict show where participants get enraged and resort to foul language. However, I promised myself before entering the house that I would refrain from using offensive language, shaming bodies, and would carry out everything in my own manner. It was an enjoyable trip," he said.
The actor also expressed genuine appreciation for fellow contestants Pranit More and Mridul Tiwari, acknowledging their influence in encouraging him to explore social media. "The individuals who weren't fond of me on the show, I will strive to improve in the next one. My younger siblings—Pranit and Mridul, urged me to join social media, claiming it is essential. I lack any understanding of this world. This is meant for both of you; I gave my word. You both have more experience than I do in this field, and I apologize for any errors I might make. I have no idea how to start a live stream. This is me attempting something different."
Gaurav expressed fond sentiments regarding Salman Khan, whose mentorship during Weekend Ka Vaar significantly influenced his path. "I will forever be grateful to Salman sir. I participated in Bigg Boss for him; I admire him greatly. Individuals believe he reprimands the contestants during weekend episodes, yet he truly provides insightful suggestions in between to enhance their performance. I grasped what he wanted me to adjust in my game, while others failed to see that I had already been improving myself.”
He concluded the video with appreciation, stating, “I want to express my thanks to my fans; without you, this journey wouldn’t have had such a fantastic conclusion. Numerous Bollywood stars and television personalities backed me and stood up for me. I wish to express my gratitude to each one of them. My greatest regret was placing trust in others too quickly and feeling unappreciated, which also occurred in the house; I'm currently addressing it.”
